Detailed Description

Datatype object representing executable code.

Sometimes, this holds the "function" being pointed to by a function pointer

Member Function Documentation

◆ compare()

int4 ghidra::TypeCode::compare	(	const Datatype &	op,
		int4	level
	)		const

virtual

Order types for propagation.

Order this with another data-type, in a way suitable for the type propagation algorithm. Bigger types come earlier. More specific types come earlier.

Parameters

op	is the data-type to compare with this
level	is maximum level to descend when recursively comparing

Returns: negative, 0, positive depending on ordering of types

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

References ghidra::Datatype::compare(), compareBasic(), ghidra::Datatype::getId(), ghidra::FuncProto::getOutputType(), ghidra::FuncProto::getParam(), ghidra::ProtoParameter::getType(), ghidra::FuncProto::numParams(), and proto.

◆ compareBasic()

int4 ghidra::TypeCode::compareBasic ( const TypeCode * op ) const

Compare surface characteristics of two TypeCodes.

Compare basic characteristics of this with another TypeCode, not including the prototype

-1 or 1 if -this- and -op- are different in surface characteristics
0 if they are exactly equal and have no parameters
2 if they are equal on the surface, but additional comparisons must be made on parameters
Parameters

op is the other data-type to compare to

Returns
the comparison value

References ghidra::FuncProto::getComparableFlags(), ghidra::FuncProto::getModelName(), ghidra::FuncProto::hasModel(), ghidra::FuncProto::numParams(), and proto.

Referenced by compare(), and compareDependency().

◆ compareDependency()

int4 ghidra::TypeCode::compareDependency ( const Datatype & op ) const

virtual

Compare for storage in tree structure.

Sort data-types for the main TypeFactory container. The sort needs to be based on the data-type structure so that an example data-type, constructed outside the factory, can be used to find the equivalent object inside the factory. This means the comparison should not examine the data-type id. In practice, the comparison only needs to go down one level in the component structure before just comparing component pointers.

Parameters

op	is the data-type to compare with this

Returns: negative, 0, positive depending on ordering of types

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

References compareBasic(), ghidra::Datatype::compareDependency(), ghidra::FuncProto::getOutputType(), ghidra::FuncProto::getParam(), ghidra::ProtoParameter::getType(), ghidra::FuncProto::numParams(), and proto.

◆ decodePrototype()

void ghidra::TypeCode::decodePrototype	(	Decoder &	decoder,
		bool	isConstructor,
		bool	isDestructor,
		TypeFactory &	typegrp
	)

protected

Restore any prototype description.

A single child element indicates a full function prototype.

Parameters

decoder	is the stream decoder
isConstructor	is true if the prototype is a constructor
isDestructor	is true if the prototype is a destructor
typegrp	is the factory owning the code object

Referenced by ghidra::TypeFactory::decodeCode().

◆ decodeStub()

void ghidra::TypeCode::decodeStub ( Decoder & decoder )

protected

Restore stub of data-type without the full prototype.

Parameters

decoder is the stream decoder

References ghidra::Datatype::decodeBasic(), ghidra::Datatype::flags, ghidra::Decoder::peekElement(), and ghidra::Datatype::variable_length.

Referenced by ghidra::TypeFactory::decodeCode().

◆ encode()

void ghidra::TypeCode::encode ( Encoder & encoder ) const

virtual

Encode the data-type to a stream.

Encode a formal description of the data-type as a <type> element. For composite data-types, the description goes down one level, describing the component types only by reference.

Parameters

encoder is the stream encoder

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

References ghidra::Encoder::closeElement(), ghidra::FuncProto::encode(), ghidra::Datatype::encodeBasic(), ghidra::Datatype::encodeTypedef(), ghidra::Encoder::openElement(), proto, and ghidra::Datatype::typedefImm.

◆ getSubType()

Datatype * ghidra::TypeCode::getSubType	(	int8	off,
		int8 *	newoff
	)		const

virtual

Recover component data-type one-level down.

Given an offset into this data-type, return the component data-type at that offset. Also, pass back a "renormalized" offset suitable for recursize getSubType() calls: i.e. if the original offset hits the exact start of the sub-type, 0 is passed back. If there is no valid component data-type at the offset, return NULL and pass back the original offset

Parameters

off	is the offset into this data-type
newoff	is a pointer to the passed-back offset

Returns: a pointer to the component data-type or NULL

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

◆ printRaw()

void ghidra::TypeCode::printRaw ( ostream & s ) const

virtual

Print a description of the type to stream.

Print a raw description of the type to stream. Intended for debugging. Not intended to produce parsable C.

Parameters

s	is the output stream

◆ setPrototype() [1/2]

		ProtoModel *	model,
		Datatype *	outtype,
		const vector< Datatype *> &	intypes,
		bool	dotdotdot,
		Datatype *	voidtype

Turn on the data-type's function prototype

Parameters

tfact	is the factory that owns this
model	is the prototype model
outtype	is the return type of the prototype

◆ setPrototype() [2/2]

void ghidra::TypeCode::setPrototype	(	TypeFactory *	typegrp,
		const FuncProto *	fp
	)

protected

Set a particular function prototype on this.

The prototype is copied in.

typegrp	is the factory owning this
fp	is the prototype to set (may be null)
