Macro Definition Documentation

◆ SWI_DEF_IN_TBL

#define SWI_DEF_IN_TBL   0x00000020

default case is an entry in the jump table.

This flag is applicable in 2 cases:

  • The sparse indirect switch (i.e. a switch with a values table) {jump table size} == {value table size} + 1. The default case entry is the last one in the table (or the first one in the case of an inversed jump table).
  • The switch with insns in the jump table. The default case entry is before the first entry of the table.
    See also the find_defjump_from_table() helper function.

◆ SWI_JMP_INV

#define SWI_JMP_INV   0x00000040

jumptable is inversed.

(last entry is for first entry in values table)

◆ SWI_CUSTOM

#define SWI_CUSTOM   0x00004000

custom jump table.

processor_t::create_switch_xrefs will be called to create code xrefs for the table. Custom jump table must be created by the module (see also SWI_STDTBL)

◆ SWI_STDTBL

#define SWI_STDTBL   0x00080000

custom jump table with standard table formatting.

ATM IDA doesn't use SWI_CUSTOM for switches with standard table formatting. So this flag can be considered as obsolete.

◆ SWI_JMPINSN

#define SWI_JMPINSN   0x00400000

jump table entries are insns.

For such entries SHIFT has a different meaning. It denotes the number of insns in the entry. For example, 0 - the entry contains the jump to the case, 1 - the entry contains one insn like a 'mov' and jump to the end of case, and so on.
