Detailed Description

The segmented address operator.

This op is a placeholder for address mappings involving segments. The map goes between a high-level view of a pointer, consisting of multiple pieces, and a low-level view, where there is only a single absolute pointer. The mapping could be

• a virtual to physical mapping for instance or
• a segment + near pointer to a full address

The output of the operator is always a full low-level pointer. The operator takes two inputs:

• the base or segment and
• the high-level near pointer

High-level analysis can ignore the base/segment and any normalization on the near pointer. Emitted expressions involving this segment op prints only the near portion. Data-type information propagates only through this high-level side.

The decompiler looks for the term-tree defined in SegmentOp and replaces it with the SEGMENTOP operator in any p-code it analyzes. The core routine that looks for the term-tree is unify().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SegmentOp()

SegmentOp::SegmentOp	(	Architecture *	g,
		const string &	nm,
		int4	ind
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

g	is the owning Architecture for this instance of the segment operation
nm	is the low-level name of the segment operation
ind	is the constant id identifying the specific CALLOTHER variant

Member Function Documentation

execute()

uintb SegmentOp::execute ( const vector< uintb > &  input ) const

virtual

Compute the output value of this operation, given constant inputs.

Parameters

input

is the ordered list of constant inputs

Returns

the resulting value as a constant

Implements TermPatternOp.

restoreXml()

void SegmentOp::restoreXml ( const Element *  el )

virtual

Restore the detailed description from an XML stream.

The details of how a user defined operation behaves can be dynamically configured from an XML tag.

Parameters

el	is the root XML element describing the op

Implements UserPcodeOp.

unify()

bool SegmentOp::unify ( Funcdata &  data, PcodeOp *  op, vector< Varnode * > &  bindlist  ) const

virtual

Gather the formal input Varnode objects given the root PcodeOp.

Parameters

data	is the function being analyzed
op	is the root operation
bindlist	will hold the ordered list of input Varnodes

Returns

true if the requisite inputs were found

Implements TermPatternOp.
