Class FunctionPrototype

java.lang.Object
ghidra.program.model.pcode.FunctionPrototype
public class FunctionPrototype extends Object
High-level prototype of a function based on Varnodes, describing the inputs and outputs of this function.

  • Constructor Details

    • FunctionPrototype

      public FunctionPrototype(LocalSymbolMap ls, Function func)
      Construct a FunctionPrototype backed by a local symbolmap. This is only a partial initialization. It is intended to be followed either by grabFromFunction() or readPrototypeXML()
      Parameters:
      ls - is the LocalSymbolMap backing the prototype
      func - is the function using the symbolmap

    • FunctionPrototype

      public FunctionPrototype(FunctionSignature proto, CompilerSpec cspec, boolean voidimpliesdotdotdot)
      Construct an internally backed prototype based on a FunctionSignature prototype
      Parameters:
      proto - is the FunctionSignature used to internally back input parameters
      cspec - is the compiler spec used to pick prototype model
      voidimpliesdotdotdot - set to true if a void prototype is interpreted as varargs

  • Method Details

    • getNumParams

      public int getNumParams()
      Returns:
      the number of defined parameters for this function prototype

    • getParam

      public HighSymbol getParam(int i)
      Parameters:
      i - i'th parameter index
      Returns:
      the i'th HighParam to this function prototype or null if this prototype is not backed by a LocalSymbolMap

    • getParameterDefinitions

      public ParameterDefinition[] getParameterDefinitions()
      Returns:
      parameter definitions if prototype was produced from a FunctionSignature or null if backed by a LocalSymbolMap

    • isBackedByLocalSymbolMap

      public boolean isBackedByLocalSymbolMap()
      Returns:
      true if this prototype is backed by a LocalSymbolMap, or false if generated from a FunctionSignature.

    • getReturnType

      public DataType getReturnType()
      Returns:
      the return type for the function

    • getReturnStorage

      public VariableStorage getReturnStorage()
      Returns:
      the return storage for the function

    • getExtraPop

      public int getExtraPop()
      Returns:
      the number of extra bytes popped off by this functions return

    • isVarArg

      public boolean isVarArg()
      Returns:
      true if this function has variable arguments

    • isInline

      public boolean isInline()
      Returns:
      true if this function should be inlined by the decompile

    • hasNoReturn

      public boolean hasNoReturn()
      Returns:
      true if calls to this function do not return

    • hasThisPointer

      public boolean hasThisPointer()
      Returns:
      true if this function is a method taking a 'this' pointer as a parameter

    • isConstructor

      public boolean isConstructor()
      Returns:
      true if this function is an (object-oriented) constructor

    • isDestructor

      public boolean isDestructor()
      Returns:
      true if this function is an (object-oriented) destructor

    • getModelName

      public String getModelName()
      Returns:
      calling convention model name specific to the associated compiler spec

    • encodePrototype

      public void encodePrototype(Encoder encoder, PcodeDataTypeManager dtmanage) throws IOException
      Encode this function prototype to a stream.
      Parameters:
      encoder - is the stream encoder
      dtmanage - is the DataTypeManager for building type reference tags
      Throws:
      IOException - for errors in the underlying stream

    • decodePrototype

      public void decodePrototype(Decoder decoder, PcodeFactory pcodeFactory) throws DecoderException
      Decode the function prototype from a <prototype> element in the stream.
      Parameters:
      decoder - is the stream decoder
      pcodeFactory - is used to resolve data-type and address space references
      Throws:
      DecoderException - for invalid encodings
