Detailed Description

A function Symbol referring to an external location.

This Symbol is intended to label functions that have not been mapped directly into the image being analyzed. It holds a level of indirection between the address the image expects the symbol to be at and a placeholder address the system hangs meta-data on.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ExternRefSymbol()

ExternRefSymbol::ExternRefSymbol ( Scope sc,
const Address ref,
const string &  nm 
)

Construct given a placeholder address.

Parameters
scis the Scope containing the Symbol
refis the placeholder address where the system will hold meta-data
nmis the name of the Symbol

◆ saveXml()

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

Save this Symbol to an XML stream.

Parameters
sis the output stream
