Detailed Description

Class for automatically registering extension points to the decompiler.

This uses the C++ static initializer feature to automatically discover and register extension point. Code for an extension should provide a class that derives from CapabilityPoint and overrides the initialize() method. Additionally there should be a singleton static instantiation of this extension class. The extensions are accumulated in a list automatically, then the decompiler engine will ensure that the initialize() method is called on each extension, allowing it to complete its integration.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CapabilityPoint()

CapabilityPoint::CapabilityPoint ( void  )

protected

Construct extension capability exactly once.

Constructing the object automatically registers it. For global instances, this happens during static initialization

Member Function Documentation

initialize()

virtual void CapabilityPoint::initialize ( void  )

pure virtual

Complete initialization of an extension point.

This method is implemented by each extension so it can do specialized integration

Implemented in IfaceCapability, ArchitectureCapability, GhidraDecompCapability, and PrintLanguageCapability.

initializeAll()

void CapabilityPoint::initializeAll ( void  )

static

Finish initialization for all extension points.

Give all registered capabilities a chance to initialize (after all static initialization has happened)
