idp.hpp File Reference

## Detailed Description

Contains definition of the interface to IDP modules.

The interface consists of two structures:

- definition of target assembler: ::ash
- definition of current processor: ::ph

These structures contain information about target processor and assembler features.

It also defines two groups of kernel events:

- processor_t::event_t processor related events
- idb_event:event_code_t database related events

The processor related events are used to communicate with the processor module. The database related events are used to inform any interested parties, like plugins or processor modules, about the changes in the database.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ hook_event_listener()

idaman bool ida_export hook_event_listener | ( | hook_type_t | hook_type,
|  | event_listener_t * | cb,
|  | const void * | owner,
|  | int | hkcb_flags = `0`
| ) |  |

Install an event listener.

The installed listener will be called for all kernel events of the specified type (hook_type_t).

Parameters

  hook_type | one of hook_type_t constants
  cb | The event listener object
  owner | The listener owner. Points to an instance of: plugin_t, processor_t, or loader_t. Can be nullptr, which means undefined owner. The owner is used by the kernel for automatic removal of the event listener when the owner is unloaded from the memory.
  hkcb_flags | combination of Hook installation bits. bits

Returns
  success

## ◆ unhook_event_listener()

idaman bool ida_export unhook_event_listener | ( | hook_type_t | hook_type,
|  | event_listener_t * | cb
| ) |  |

Uninstall an event listener.

Parameters

  hook_type | one of hook_type_t constants
  cb | the listener object

Returns
  success A listener is uninstalled automatically when the owner module is unloaded or when the listener object is being destroyed

## ◆ is_align_insn()

idaman int ida_export is_align_insn | ( | ea_t | ea | ) |

If the instruction at 'ea' looks like an alignment instruction, return its length in bytes.

Otherwise return 0.

## ◆ get_reg_name()

idaman ssize_t ida_export get_reg_name | ( | qstring * | buf,
|  | int | reg,
|  | size_t | width,
|  | int | reghi = `-1`
| ) |  |

Get text representation of a register.

For most processors this function will just return processor_t::reg_names[reg]. If the processor module has implemented processor_t::get_reg_name, it will be used instead

Parameters

  buf | output buffer
  reg | internal register number as defined in the processor module
  width | register width in bytes
  reghi | if specified, then this function will return the register pair

Returns
  length of register name in bytes or -1 if failure

## ◆ parse_reg_name()

idaman bool ida_export parse_reg_name | ( | reg_info_t * | ri,
|  | const char * | regname
| ) |  |

Get register info by name.

Parameters

  [out] | ri | result
  | regname | name of register

Returns
  success

## ◆ set_processor_type()

idaman bool ida_export set_processor_type | ( | const char * | procname,
|  | setproc_level_t | level
| ) |  |

Set target processor type.

Once a processor module is loaded, it cannot be replaced until we close the idb.

Parameters

  procname | name of processor type (one of names present in processor_t::psnames)
  level | SETPROC_

Returns
  success

## ◆ get_idp_name()

idaman char *ida_export get_idp_name | ( | char * | buf,
|  | size_t | bufsize
| ) |  |

Get name of the current processor module.

The name is derived from the file name. For example, for IBM PC the module is named "pc.w32" (windows version), then the module name is "PC" (uppercase). If no processor module is loaded, this function will return nullptr

Parameters

  buf | the output buffer, should be at least #QMAXFILE length
  bufsize | size of output buffer

## ◆ set_target_assembler()

idaman bool ida_export set_target_assembler | ( | int | asmnum | ) |

Set target assembler.

Parameters

  asmnum | number of assembler in the current processor module

Returns
  success

## ◆ set_module_data()

idaman void *ida_export set_module_data | ( | int * | data_id,
|  | void * | data_ptr
| ) |  |

Starting from IDA v7.5 all modules should use the following 3 functions to handle idb specific static data because now the kernel supports opening and working with multiple idbs files simultaneously.

See the source code of the processor modules in the SDK for the usage examples. Register pointer to database specific module data.

Parameters

  data_id | initially the pointed-to value must be 0, the kernel will fill it with a unique id. once assigned, the data_id does not change.
  data_ptr | pointer to the data to register

Returns
  data_ptr. The registered pointer can later be retrieved using get_module_data()

## ◆ clr_module_data()

idaman void *ida_export clr_module_data | ( | int | data_id | ) |

Unregister pointer to database specific module data.

Parameters

  data_id | an data_id that was assigned by set_module_data()

Returns
  previously registered pointer for the current database. it can be deallocated now. Multiple calls to this function with the same id are forbidden.

## ◆ get_module_data()

idaman void *ida_export get_module_data | ( | int | data_id | ) |

Get pointer to the database specific module data.

Parameters

  data_id | data id that was initialized by set_module_data()

Returns
  previously registered pointer for the current database
