Function Documentation

◆ create_data()

idaman bool ida_export create_data ( ea_t  ea,
flags64_t  dataflag,
asize_t  size,
tid_t  tid 
)

Convert to data (byte, word, dword, etc).

This function may be used to create arrays.

Parameters
ealinear address
dataflagtype of data. Value of function byte_flag(), word_flag(), etc.
sizesize of array in bytes. should be divisible by the size of one item of the specified type. for variable sized items it can be specified as 0, and the kernel will try to calculate the size.
tidtype id. If the specified type is a structure, then tid is structure id. Otherwise should be BADNODE.
Returns
success

◆ create_align()

idaman bool ida_export create_align ( ea_t  ea,
asize_t  length,
int  alignment 
)

Create an alignment item.

Parameters
ealinear address
lengthsize of the item in bytes. 0 means to infer from ALIGNMENT
alignmentalignment exponent. Example: 3 means align to 8 bytes. 0 means to infer from LENGTH It is forbidden to specify both LENGTH and ALIGNMENT as 0.
Returns
success

◆ calc_min_align()

idaman int ida_export calc_min_align ( asize_t  length)

Calculate the minimal possible alignment exponent.

Parameters
lengthsize of the item in bytes.
Returns
a value in the 1..32 range

◆ calc_max_align()

idaman int ida_export calc_max_align ( ea_t  endea)

Calculate the maximal possible alignment exponent.

Parameters
endeaend address of the alignment item.
Returns
a value in the 0..32 range

◆ calc_def_align()

idaman int ida_export calc_def_align ( ea_t  ea,
int  mina,
int  maxa 
)

Calculate the default alignment exponent.

Parameters
ealinear address
minaminimal possible alignment exponent.
maxaminimal possible alignment exponent.
