Class DisassemblerContextImpl

java.lang.Object
ghidra.program.disassemble.DisassemblerContextImpl
All Implemented Interfaces:
DisassemblerContext, ProcessorContext, ProcessorContextView
public class DisassemblerContextImpl extends Object implements DisassemblerContext
Maintains processor state information during disassembly and analysis. Tracks register state associated with instruction flows. Within this context, a flow is defined as a contiguous range of instructions. Also, this context provides storage for context states at future flow addresses, which will be used when subsequent flowTo(Address) or flowStart(Address) calls are made with those addresses.
