public class HighFunctionSymbol
extends HighSymbol

A function symbol that encapsulates detailed information about a particular function for the purposes of decompilation. The detailed model is provided by a backing HighFunction object.

Constructor Details

HighFunctionSymbol

public HighFunctionSymbol(Address addr,
 int size,
 HighFunction function)

Construct given an Address, size, and decompiler function model for the symbol. The Address is typically the entry point of the function but may be different if the function is getting mapped from elsewhere (i.e. the EXTERNAL space). The size is given in bytes but generally isn't the true size of the function. The size needs to make the symbol just big enough to absorb any off-cut Address queries.

Parameters:

addr - is the starting Address of the symbol

size - is the pseudo-size of the function

function - is the decompiler model of the function

Method Details

isGlobal

public boolean isGlobal()

Description copied from class: HighSymbol

Is this symbol in the global scope or some other global namespace

Overrides:

isGlobal in class HighSymbol

Returns:

true if this is global

getNamespace

public Namespace getNamespace()

Description copied from class: HighSymbol

Fetch the namespace owning this symbol, if it exists.

Overrides:

getNamespace in class HighSymbol

Returns:

the Namespace object or null

encode

public void encode(Encoder encoder)
            throws IOException

Description copied from class: HighSymbol

Encode the symbol description as an element to the stream. This does NOT save the mappings.

Overrides:

encode in class HighSymbol

Parameters:

encoder - is the stream encoder

Throws:

IOException - for errors in the underlying stream
