Detailed Description

Contains functions that deal with individual byte characteristics.

Each byte of the disassembled program is represented by a 32-bit value. We will call this value 'flags'. The structure of the flags is here.

You are not allowed to inspect individual bits of flags and modify them directly. Use special functions to inspect and/or modify flags.

Flags are kept in a virtual array file (*.id1). Addresses (ea) are all 32-bit (or 64-bit) quantities.

◆ get_strlit_contents()

idaman ssize_t ida_export get_strlit_contents ( qstring * utf8,
ea_t ea,
size_t len,
int32 type,
size_t * maxcps = nullptr,
int flags = 0 )

Get contents of string literal, as UTF-8-encoded codepoints.

This function returns the displayed part of the string It works even if the string has not been created in the database yet.

If 'len' is size_t(-1), it will be computed like so:

  • if a string literal is present at 'ea', get_item_size() * bytesize(ea) will be used
  • otherwise, get_max_strlit_length(..., ALOPT_IGNHEADS) will be used

About 'maxcps': this specifies a limit to the number of codepoints, not bytes in the UTF-8 output buffer. So for example although U+4e12 will use 3 bytes in the output buffer, it still counts as only 1 character – unless STRCONV_ESCAPE is used. If 'STRCONV_ESCAPE' is used, U+4e12 will be converted to the string "\u4E12", and will use 6 bytes in the output buffer and also count as 6 codepoints.

If 'STRCONV_REPLCHAR', any undecodable byte will re represented as U+FFFD, occupy 3 bytes in the output buffer, and count for 1 codepoint.

Parameters
[out]utf8output buffer
[in]ealinear address of the string
[in]lenlength of the string, in octets (octet=8bit)
[in]typetype of the string. one of String type codes
[in,out]maxcpsmaximum length of codepoints, after possible escaping, in output buffer (not counting terminating zero) on exit, will be set to 0 if string got truncated can be nullptr if not needed
[in]flagscombination of string conversion flags

length of generated text (in bytes) or -1

◆ equal_bytes()

idaman bool ida_export equal_bytes ( ea_t ea,
const uchar * image,
const uchar * mask,
size_t len,
int bin_search_flags )

Compare 'len' bytes of the program starting from 'ea' with 'image'.

Parameters
ealinear address
imagebytes to compare with
maskarray of mask bytes, it's length is 'len'. if the flag BIN_SEARCH_BITMASK is passsed, 'bitwise AND' is used to compare. if not; 1 means to perform the comparison of the corresponding byte. 0 means not to perform. if mask == nullptr, then all bytes of 'image' will be compared. if mask == #SKIP_FF_MASK then 0xFF bytes will be skipped
lenlength of block to compare in bytes.
bin_search_flagscombination of Search flags
Return values
1equal
0not equal
