Detailed Description

A collection of Symbol objects within a single (namespace or functional) scope.

This acts as a traditional Symbol container, allowing them to be accessed by name, but it also keeps track of how a Symbol is mapped into memory. It allows a Symbol to be looked up by its location in memory, which is sensitive to the address of the code accessing the Symbol.

Capabilities include:

Search for Symbols
- By name
- By storage address
- By type of Symbol
- Containing a range
- Overlapping a range
Insert or remove a Symbol
Add or remove SymbolEntry objects which associate Symbols with storage and the code that accesses it
Modify properties of a Symbol

A scope also supports the idea of ownership of memory. In theory, for a Symbol in the scope, at the code locations where the Symbol storage is valid, the scope owns the storage memory. In practice, a Scope object knows about memory ranges where a Symbol might be discovered. For instance, the global Scope usually owns all memory in the ram address space.

Funcdata * Scope::queryExternalRefFunction ( const Address & addr ) const

Look-up a function thru an external reference.

Given an address, search for an external reference. If no Symbol is found and this Scope does not own the address, recurse searching in the parent Scope. If an external reference is found, try to resolve the function it refers to and return it.

Parameters

addr	is the given address where an external reference might be

Returns: the referred to Funcdata object or NULL if not found

◆ queryFunction() [1/2]

Funcdata * Scope::queryFunction ( const Address & addr ) const

Look-up a function by address.

Within a sub-scope or containing Scope of this, find a function starting at the given address.

Parameters

addr	is the starting address of the function

Returns: the Funcdata object of the matching function, or NULL if it doesn't exist

◆ queryFunction() [2/2]

Funcdata * Scope::queryFunction ( const string & name ) const

Look-up a function by name.

Starting with this Scope, find a function with the given name. If there are no Symbols with that name in this Scope at all, recurse into the parent Scope.

Parameters

name	if the name to search for

Returns: the Funcdata object of the matching function, or NULL if it doesn't exist

◆ queryProperties()

SymbolEntry * Scope::queryProperties	(	const Address &	addr,
		int4	size,
		const Address &	usepoint,
		uint4 &	flags
	)		const

Find a Symbol or properties at the given address.

Similarly to queryContainer(), this searches for the smallest containing Symbol, but whether a known Symbol is found or not, boolean properties associated with the memory range are also search for and passed back.

Parameters

addr	is the starting address of the range
size	is the number of bytes in the range
usepoint	is a point at which the memory range is accessed (may be invalid)
flags	is a reference used to pass back the boolean properties of the memory range

Returns: the smallest SymbolEntry containing the range, or NULL

◆ removeRange()

void Scope::removeRange	(	AddrSpace *	spc,
		uintb	first,
		uintb	last
	)

protectedvirtual

Remove a memory range from the ownership of this Scope.

Parameters

spc	is the address space of the range
first	is the offset of the first byte in the range
last	is the offset of the last byte in the range

◆ resetSizeLockType()

void Scope::resetSizeLockType ( Symbol * sym )

Clear a Symbol's size-locked data-type.

Replace any overriding data-type type with the locked UNKNOWN type of the correct size. The data-type is cleared, but the lock is preserved.

Parameters

sym	is the Symbol to clear

◆ resolveExternalRefFunction()

virtual Funcdata* Scope::resolveExternalRefFunction ( ExternRefSymbol * sym ) const

pure virtual

Convert an external reference to the referenced function.

Parameters

sym	is the Symbol marking the external reference

Returns: the underlying Funcdata object or NULL if none exists

Implemented in ScopeInternal, and ScopeGhidra.

◆ resolveScope()

Scope * Scope::resolveScope	(	const string &	name,
		bool	strategy
	)		const

Find a child Scope of this.

Look for the immediate child of this with a given name

Parameters

name	is the child's name
strategy	is true if hash of the name determines id

Returns: the child Scope or NULL if there is no child with that name

◆ restrictScope()

void Scope::restrictScope ( Funcdata * f )

protectedvirtual

Convert this to a local Scope.

Attach this to the given function, which makes this the local scope for the function

Parameters

f	is the given function to attach to

Reimplemented in ScopeGhidra.

◆ retypeSymbol()

virtual void Scope::retypeSymbol	(	Symbol *	sym,
		Datatype *	ct
	)

pure virtual

Change the data-type of a Symbol within this Scope.

If the size of the Symbol changes, any mapping (SymbolEntry) is adjusted

Parameters

sym	is the given Symbol
ct	is the new data-type

Implemented in ScopeInternal, and ScopeGhidra.

◆ saveXmlRecursive()

void Scope::saveXmlRecursive	(	ostream &	s,
		bool	onlyGlobal
	)		const

Save all contained scopes as an XML stream.

This Scope and all of its sub-scopes are saved as a sequence of <scope> tags in post order. For each Scope, the saveXml() method is invoked.

Parameters

s	is the output stream
onlyGlobal	is true if only non-local Scopes should be saved

◆ setCategory()

virtual void Scope::setCategory	(	Symbol *	sym,
		int4	cat,
		int4	ind
	)

pure virtual

Set the category and index for the given Symbol.

Parameters

sym	is the given Symbol
cat	is the category to set for the Symbol
ind	is the index position to set (within the category)

Implemented in ScopeInternal, and ScopeGhidra.

◆ stackAddr()

const Scope * Scope::stackAddr	(	const Scope *	scope1,
		const Scope *	scope2,
		const Address &	addr,
		const Address &	usepoint,
		SymbolEntry **	addrmatch
	)

staticprotected

Query for Symbols starting at a given address, which match a given usepoint.

Searching starts at a first scope, continuing thru parents up to a second scope, which is not queried. If a Scope controls the memory at that address, the Scope object is returned. Additionally, if a symbol matching the criterion is found, the matching SymbolEntry is passed back.

Parameters

scope1	is the first Scope where searching starts
scope2	is the second Scope where searching ends
addr	is the given address to search for
usepoint	is the given point at which the memory is being accessed (can be an invalid address)
addrmatch	is used to pass-back any matching SymbolEntry

Returns: the Scope owning the address or NULL if none found

◆ stackClosestFit()

const Scope * Scope::stackClosestFit	(	const Scope *	scope1,
		const Scope *	scope2,
		const Address &	addr,
		int4	size,
		const Address &	usepoint,
		SymbolEntry **	addrmatch
	)

staticprotected

Query for a Symbol which most closely matches a given range and usepoint

Searching starts at a first scope, continuing thru parents up to a second scope, which is not queried. If a Scope controls the memory in the given range, the Scope object is returned. Among symbols that overlap the given range, the SymbolEntry which most closely matches the starting address and size is passed back.

Parameters

scope1	is the first Scope where searching starts
scope2	is the second Scope where searching ends
addr	is the starting address of the given range
size	is the number of bytes in the given range
