Function Documentation

add_regvar()

idaman int ida_export add_regvar	(	func_t *	pfn,
		ea_t	ea1,
		ea_t	ea2,
		const char *	canon,
		const char *	user,
		const char *	cmt
	)

Define a register variable.

Parameters

pfn	function in which the definition will be created
ea1,ea2	range of addresses within the function where the definition will be used
canon	name of a general register
user	user-defined name for the register
cmt	comment for the definition

Returns

Register variable error codes

find_regvar() [1/2]

idaman regvar_t* ida_export find_regvar	(	func_t *	pfn,
		ea_t	ea1,
		ea_t	ea2,
		const char *	canon,
		const char *	user
	)

Find a register variable definition (powerful version).

One of 'canon' and 'user' should be NULL. If both 'canon' and 'user' are NULL it returns the first regvar definition in the range.

Parameters

pfn	function in question
ea1,ea2	range of addresses to search. ea1==BADADDR means the entire function
canon	name of a general register
user	user-defined name for the register

Returns

NULL-not found, otherwise ptr to regvar_t

find_regvar() [2/2]

regvar_t* find_regvar ( func_t *  pfn, ea_t  ea, const char *  canon  )

inline

Find a register variable definition.

Parameters

pfn	function in question
ea	current address
canon	name of a general register

Returns

NULL-not found, otherwise ptr to regvar_t

has_regvar()

bool has_regvar ( func_t *  pfn, ea_t  ea  )

inline

Is there a register variable definition?

Parameters

pfn	function in question
ea	current address

rename_regvar()

idaman int ida_export rename_regvar	(	func_t *	pfn,
		regvar_t *	v,
		const char *	user
	)

Rename a register variable.

Parameters

pfn	function in question
v	variable to rename
user	new user-defined name for the register

Returns

Register variable error codes

set_regvar_cmt()

idaman int ida_export set_regvar_cmt	(	func_t *	pfn,
		regvar_t *	v,
		const char *	cmt
	)

Set comment for a register variable.

Parameters

pfn	function in question
v	variable to rename
cmt	new comment

Returns

Register variable error codes

del_regvar()

idaman int ida_export del_regvar	(	func_t *	pfn,
		ea_t	ea1,
		ea_t	ea2,
		const char *	canon
	)

Delete a register variable definition.

Parameters

pfn	function in question
ea1,ea2	range of addresses within the function where the definition holds
canon	name of a general register

Returns

Register variable error codes
