Detailed Description

This class is used to mirror the BlockBasic objects in the fixed control-flow graph for a function.

The decompiler does control-flow structuring by making an initial copy of the control-flow graph, then iteratively collapsing nodes (in the copy) into structured nodes. So an instance of this class acts as the mirror of an original basic block within the copy of the graph. During the structuring process, an instance will start with an exact mirror of its underlying basic block's edges, but as the algorithm proceeds, edges may get replaced as neighboring basic blocks get collapsed, and eventually the instance will get collapsed itself and become a component of one of the structured block objects (BlockIf, BlockDoWhile, etc). The block that incorporates the BlockCopy as a component is accessible through getParent().

Member Function Documentation

◆ emit()

virtual void BlockCopy::emit ( PrintLanguage lng) const
inlinevirtual

Emit the instructions in this FlowBlock as structured code.

This is the main entry point, at the control-flow level, for printing structured code.

Parameters
lngis the PrintLanguage that provides details of the high-level language being printed

Reimplemented from FlowBlock.

◆ getSplitPoint()

virtual FlowBlock* BlockCopy::getSplitPoint ( void  )
inlinevirtual

Get the leaf splitting block.

If this block ends with a conditional branch, return the deepest component block that performs the split. This component needs to be able to perform flipInPlaceTest() and flipInPlaceExecute()

Returns
the component FlowBlock or NULL if this doesn't end in a conditional branch

Reimplemented from FlowBlock.

◆ negateCondition()

virtual bool BlockCopy::negateCondition ( bool  toporbottom)
inlinevirtual

Flip the condition computed by this.

Flip the order of outgoing edges (at least). This should also affect the original op causing the condition. Note: we don't have to flip at all levels of the hierarchy only at the top and at the bottom

Parameters
toporbottomis true if this is the top outermost block of the hierarchy getting negated
Returns
true if a change was made to data-flow

Reimplemented from FlowBlock.

◆ printHeader()

void BlockCopy::printHeader ( ostream &  s) const
virtual

Print a simple description of this to stream.

Only print a header for this single block

Parameters
sis the output stream

Reimplemented from FlowBlock.

◆ printTree()

void BlockCopy::printTree ( ostream &  s,
int4  level 
) const
virtual

Print tree structure of any blocks owned by this.

Recursively print out the hierarchical structure of this FlowBlock.

Parameters
sis the output stream
levelis the current level of indentation

Reimplemented from FlowBlock.

◆ saveXmlHeader()

void BlockCopy::saveXmlHeader ( ostream &  s) const
virtual

Save basic information as XML attributes.

Parameters
sis the output stream

Reimplemented from FlowBlock.
