Member Function Documentation

build()

void ghidra::StackSolver::build	(	const Funcdata &	data,
		AddrSpace *	id,
		int4	spcbase
	)

Build the system of equations.

Collect references to the stack-pointer as variables, and examine their defining PcodeOps to determine equations and coefficient.

Parameters

data	is the function being analyzed
id	is the stack address space
spcbase	is the index, relative to the stack space, of the stack pointer

propagate()

void ghidra::StackSolver::propagate ( int4  varnum, int4  val  )

private

Propagate solution for one variable to other variables.

Given a solution for one variable, look for equations containing the variable and attempt to solve for the other variable. Continue propagating new solutions to other equations to find even more solutions. Populate the soln array with the solutions.

Parameters

varnum	is the index of the initial variable
val	is the solution for the variable
