Detailed Description

Describes a processor module (IDP).

An IDP file may have only one such structure called LPH. The kernel will copy it to ::ph structure and use ::ph.

Member Enumeration Documentation

event_t

enum processor_t::event_t

Callback notification codes.

These are passed to notify() when certain events occur in the kernel, allowing the processor module to take the appropriate action.

If you are not developing a processor module, you do not need to use the codes directly many of them already have a corresponding function to use instead ( is_call_insn vs is_call_insn(ea_t), for example).

If you are developing a processor module, your notify() function must implement the desired behavior when called with a given code. Not all events need to be handled, some of them are optional.

Enumerator

ev_set_proc_options	Called if the user specified an option string in the command line: -p<processor name>:<options>. Can be used for setting a processor subtype.

ev_ana_insn	Analyze one instruction and fill 'out' structure. This function shouldn't change the database, flags or anything else. All these actions should be performed only by emu_insn() function. \insn_t{ea} contains address of instruction to analyze. Parameters out (insn_t *) Returns length of the instruction in bytes, 0 if instruction can't be decoded. Return values 0 if instruction can't be decoded.

Parameters insn (const insn_t *) Return values 1 ok -1 the kernel will delete the instruction
ev_out_header	Function to produce start of disassembled text. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) Return values void
ev_out_footer	Function to produce end of disassembled text. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) Return values void
ev_out_segstart	Function to produce start of segment. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) seg (segment_t *) Return values 1 ok 0 not implemented

ev_out_assumes	Function to produce assume directives when segment register value changes. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) Return values 1 ok 0 not implemented
ev_out_insn	Generate text representation of an instruction in 'ctx.insn' outctx_t provides functions to output the generated text. This function shouldn't change the database, flags or anything else. All these actions should be performed only by emu_insn() function. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) Return values void
ev_out_mnem	Generate instruction mnemonics. This callback should append the colored mnemonics to ctx.outbuf Optional notification, if absent, out_mnem will be called. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) Return values 1 if appended the mnemonics 0 not implemented
ev_out_operand	Generate text representation of an instruction operand outctx_t provides functions to output the generated text. All these actions should be performed only by emu_insn() function. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) op (const op_t *) Return values 1 ok -1 operand is hidden
ev_out_data	Generate text representation of data items This function may change the database and create cross-references if analyze_only is set. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) analyze_only (bool) Return values 1 ok 0 not implemented
ev_out_label	The kernel is going to generate an instruction label line or a function header. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) colored_name (const char *) Return values <0 if the kernel should not generate the label 0 not implemented or continue
ev_out_special_item	Generate text representation of an item in a special segment i.e. absolute symbols, externs, communal definitions etc Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) segtype (uchar) Return values 1 ok 0 not implemented -1 overflow
ev_gen_stkvar_def	Generate stack variable definition line Default line is varname = type ptr value, where 'type' is one of byte,word,dword,qword,tbyte. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) mptr (const member_t *) v (sval_t) Return values 1 ok 0 not implemented
ev_gen_regvar_def	Generate register variable definition line. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) v (regvar_t *) Return values >0 ok, generated the definition text 0 not implemented
ev_gen_src_file_lnnum	Callback: generate analog of: < #line "file.c" 123 < directive. Parameters outctx (outctx_t *) output context file (const char *) source file (may be nullptr) lnnum (size_t) line number Return values 1 directive has been generated 0 not implemented
ev_creating_segm	A new segment is about to be created. Parameters seg (segment_t *) Return values 1 ok <0 segment should not be created
ev_moving_segm	May the kernel move the segment? Parameters seg (segment_t *) segment to move to (::ea_t) new segment start address flags (int) combination of Move segment flags Return values 0 yes <0 the kernel should stop
ev_coagulate	Try to define some unexplored bytes. This notification will be called if the kernel tried all possibilities and could not find anything more useful than to convert to array of bytes. The module can help the kernel and convert the bytes into something more useful. Parameters start_ea (::ea_t) Returns number of converted bytes
ev_undefine	An item in the database (insn or data) is being deleted. Parameters ea (ea_t) Return values 1 do not delete srranges at the item end 0 srranges can be deleted

Parameters ea (::ea_t) new_name (const char *) flags (int) Set name flags Return values <0 if the kernel should not rename it. 2 to inhibit the notification. I.e., the kernel should not rename, but 'set_name()' should return 'true'. also see renamed the return value is ignored when kernel is going to delete name

Number of digits in floating numbers after the decimal point.

If an element of this array equals 0, then the corresponding floating point data is not used for the processor. This array is used to align numbers in the output.

• real_width[0] - number of digits for short floats (only PDP-11 has them)
• real_width[1] - number of digits for "float"
• real_width[2] - number of digits for "double"
• real_width[3] - number of digits for "long double"

Example: IBM PC module has { 0,7,15,19 }
