Detailed Description

Describes the type information records in IDA.

The recommended way of using type info is to use the tinfo_t class. The type information is internally kept as an array of bytes terminated by 0.

Items in brackets [] are optional and sometimes are omitted. type_t... means a sequence of type_t bytes which defines a type.

Note: to work with the types of instructions or data in the database, use get_tinfo()/set_tinfo() and similar functions.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ TA_FORMAT

#define TA_FORMAT "format"

info about the 'format' argument.

3 times pack_dd: format_functype_t, argument number of 'format', argument number of '...'

◆ ARGLOC_HELPER_DEFINITIONS

#define ARGLOC_HELPER_DEFINITIONS ( decl )

Value:

decl void ida_export copy_argloc(argloc_t *dst, const argloc_t *src); \
decl void ida_export cleanup_argloc(argloc_t *vloc);\
decl int ida_export compare_arglocs(const argloc_t &a, const argloc_t &b);

Helper to declare common argloc_t related functions.

Typedef Documentation

◆ edmvec_t

typedef qvector<edm_t> edmvec_t

vector of enum values.

for regular enums, no sorting order is defined. for bitmasks, the vector consists of bitmask groups. each non-trivial group (having more than one member or more than one bit in the value) starts with a mask member, the rest of the group has no defined sorting order.

◆ local_tinfo_predicate_t

typedef int idaapi local_tinfo_predicate_t(uint32 ord, const tinfo_t &type, void *ud)

Controls which types are displayed/selected when choosing local types.

Return values

0	skip type
1	include

◆ enum_type_visitor_t

using enum_type_visitor_t = std::function<ssize_t(const struct enum_type_data_t &ei, size_t idx, uint64 value, uint64 bmask)>

Callback for visit_edms.

Parameters

ei	enum type details
idx	constant index
value	applied value
bmask	group bitmask

Returns: 0 to continue, stop visiting enum members otherwise

Function Documentation

◆ is_tah_byte()

THREAD_SAFE bool is_tah_byte ( type_t t )

inline

The TAH byte (type attribute header byte) denotes the start of type attributes.

(see "tah-typeattrs" in the type bit definitions)

◆ is_sdacl_byte()

THREAD_SAFE bool is_sdacl_byte ( type_t t )

inline

Identify an sdacl byte.

The first sdacl byte has the following format: 11xx000x. The sdacl bytes are appended to udt fields. They indicate the start of type attributes (as the tah-bytes do). The sdacl bytes are used in the udt headers instead of the tah-byte. This is done for compatibility with old databases, they were already using sdacl bytes in udt headers and as udt field postfixes. (see "sdacl-typeattrs" in the type bit definitions)

◆ operator<()

Failure to load base tils are reported into 'errbuf'. They do not prevent loading of the main til.

Parameters

	name	filename of the til. If it's an absolute path, tildir is ignored. NB: the file extension is forced to .til
[out]	errbuf	error message

Use get_arg_addrs() to retrieve it if necessary. Alternatively it is possible to hook to processor_t::arg_addrs_ready event.

Parameters

caller	linear address of the calling instruction. must belong to a function.
tif	type info

Returns: success

◆ get_arg_addrs()

idaman bool ida_export get_arg_addrs	(	eavec_t *	out,

◆ apply_once_tinfo_and_name()

		const tinfo_t &	tif,
		const char *	name
	)

Apply the specified type and name to the address.

This function checks if the address already has a type. If the old type
does not exist or the new type is 'better' than the old type, then the
new type will be applied. A type is considered better if it has more
information (e.g. BTMT_STRUCT is better than BT_INT).
The same logic is with the name: if the address already have a meaningful
name, it will be preserved. Only if the old name does not exist or it
is a dummy name like byte_123, it will be replaced by the new name.

Parameters

dea	linear address
tif	type string in the internal format
name	new name for the address

	)

Lower type.

Inspect the type and lower all function subtypes using lower_func_type().
We call the prototypes usually encountered in source files "high level"
They may have implicit arguments, array arguments, big structure retvals, etc
We introduce explicit arguments (i.e. 'this' pointer) and call the result
"low level prototype". See FTI_HIGH.

In order to improve heuristics for recognition of big structure retvals,
it is recommended to pass a helper that will be used to make decisions.
That helper will be used only for lowering 'tif', and not for the children
types walked through by recursion.
