Detailed Description

An implementation of a ContextDatabase obtaining context information via a Ghidra client.

This only implements the tracked register parts of the interface. In fact, this only implements the single method getTrackedSet(). Other methods that get or set the low-level (disassembly) context variables will throw an exception. The low-level context is only needed by the Sleigh disassembly engine, which is being provided by the Ghidra client in this use case.

Member Function Documentation

◆ createSet()

virtual TrackedSet& ContextGhidra::createSet	(	const Address &	addr1,
		const Address &	addr2
	)

inlinevirtual

Create a tracked register set that is valid over the given range.

This really should be an internal routine. The created set is empty, old values are blown away. If old/default values are to be preserved, they must be copied back in.

Parameters

addr1	is the starting address of the given range
addr2	is (1 past) the ending address of the given range

Returns: the empty set of tracked register values

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ getContext() [1/2]

virtual const uintm* ContextGhidra::getContext ( const Address & addr ) const

inlinevirtual

Get the context blob of values associated with a given address.

Parameters

addr	is the given address

Returns: the memory region holding the context values for the address

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ getContext() [2/2]

virtual const uintm* ContextGhidra::getContext	(	const Address &	addr,
		uintb &	first,
		uintb &	last
	)		const

inlinevirtual

Get the context blob of values associated with a given address and its bounding offsets.

In addition to the memory region, the range of addresses for which the region is valid is passed back as offsets into the address space.

Parameters

addr	is the given address
first	will hold the starting offset of the valid range
last	will hold the ending offset of the valid range

Returns: the memory region holding the context values for the address

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ getContextSize()

virtual int ContextGhidra::getContextSize ( void ) const

inlinevirtual

Retrieve the number of words (uintm) in a context blob.

Returns: the number of words

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ getTrackedDefault()

virtual TrackedSet& ContextGhidra::getTrackedDefault ( void )

inlinevirtual

Get the set of default values for all tracked registers.

Returns: the list of TrackedContext objects

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ getTrackedSet()

const TrackedSet & ContextGhidra::getTrackedSet ( const Address & addr ) const

virtual

Get the set of tracked register values associated with the given address.

Parameters

addr	is the given address

Returns: the list of TrackedContext objects

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ registerVariable()

virtual void ContextGhidra::registerVariable	(	const string &	nm,
		int4	sbit,
		int4	ebit
	)

inlinevirtual

Register a new named context variable (as a bit range) with the database.

A new variable is registered by providing a name and the range of bits the value will occupy within the context blob. The full blob size is automatically increased if necessary. The variable must be contained within a single word, and all variables must be registered before any values can be set.

Parameters

nm	is the name of the new variable
sbit	is the position of the variable's most significant bit within the blob
ebit	is the position of the variable's least significant bit within the blob

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ restoreFromSpec()

virtual void ContextGhidra::restoreFromSpec	(	const Element *	el,
		const AddrSpaceManager *	manage
	)

inlinevirtual

Add initial context state from XML tags in compiler/processor specifications.

The database can be configured with a consistent initial state by providing <context_data> tags in either the compiler or processor specification file for the architecture

Parameters

el	is a <context_data> tag
manage	is used to resolve address space references

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ restoreXml()

virtual void ContextGhidra::restoreXml	(	const Element *	el,
		const AddrSpaceManager *	manage
	)

inlinevirtual

Restore the state of this database object from a serialized XML stream.

Parameters

el	is the root element of the XML describing the database state
manage	is used to resolve address space references

Implements ContextDatabase.

◆ saveXml()

virtual void ContextGhidra::saveXml ( ostream & s ) const

inlinevirtual

Serialize the entire database to an XML stream.

Parameters

s	is the output stream

Implements ContextDatabase.
