virtual void Architecture::printMessage ( const string & message ) const

pure virtual

Print an error message to console.

Write the given message to whatever the registered error stream is

Parameters

message is the error message

Implemented in ArchitectureGhidra, and SleighArchitecture.

◆ readLoaderSymbols()

void Architecture::readLoaderSymbols ( const string & delim )

Read any symbols from loader into database.

Symbols do not necessarily need to be available for the decompiler. This routine loads all the load image knows about into the symbol table

Parameters

delim is the delimiter separating namespaces from symbol base names

◆ resetDefaults()

void Architecture::resetDefaults ( void )

Reset defaults values for options owned by this.

Reset options that can be modified by the OptionDatabase. This includes options specific to this class and options under PrintLanguage and ActionDatabase

◆ restoreFlowOverride()

void Architecture::restoreFlowOverride ( const Element * el )

Set flow overrides from XML.

Insert a series of out-of-band flow overrides based on a <flowoverridelist> tag.

Parameters

el	is the XML element

◆ restoreFromSpec()

void Architecture::restoreFromSpec ( DocumentStorage & store )

protected

Fully initialize the Translate object.

Once the processor is known, the Translate object can be built and fully initialized. Processor and compiler specific configuration is performed

Parameters

store will hold parsed configuration information

◆ restoreXml()

void Architecture::restoreXml ( DocumentStorage & store )

virtual

Restore the Architecture state from an XML stream.

Read in all the sub-component state from a <save_state> XML tag When adding stuff to this BEWARE: The spec file has already initialized stuff

Parameters

store is document store containing the parsed root tag

Reimplemented in BfdArchitecture, RawBinaryArchitecture, and XmlArchitecture.

◆ saveXml()

void Architecture::saveXml ( ostream & s ) const

virtual

Serialize this architecture to XML.

Write the current state of all types, symbols, functions, etc. an XML stream

Parameters

s	is the output stream

Reimplemented in BfdArchitecture, RawBinaryArchitecture, and XmlArchitecture.

◆ setDefaultModel()

void Architecture::setDefaultModel ( const string & nm )

Set the default PrototypeModel.

The default model is used whenever an explicit model is not known or can't be determined.

Parameters

nm	is the name of the model to set

◆ setPrintLanguage()

void Architecture::setPrintLanguage ( const string & nm )

Establish a particular output language.

The decompiler supports one or more output languages (C, Java). This method does the main work of selecting one of the supported languages. In addition to selecting the main PrintLanguage object, this triggers configuration of the cast strategy and p-code op behaviors.

Parameters

nm	is the name of the language

◆ setPrototype()

void Architecture::setPrototype ( const PrototypePieces & pieces )

Set the prototype for a particular function.

Establish details of the prototype for a given function symbol

Parameters

pieces holds the raw prototype information and the symbol name
