    • getCompatibleMemoryAddress

      public static Address getCompatibleMemoryAddress(Address memoryAddress, Program otherProgram)
      Determines the memory address in the other program that is compatible with the specified address.
      Parameters:
      memoryAddress - the memory address to be converted
      otherProgram - target program which corresponds to the returned address.
      Returns:
      the memory address derived from the other program or null if one cannot be determined.

    • getCompatibleAddressSet

      public static AddressSet getCompatibleAddressSet(AddressSetView set, Program otherProgram)
      Convert an address-set from one program to a compatible address-set in the specified otherProgram. Those regions which can not be mapped will be eliminated from the new address-set. Only memory addresses will be considered.
      Parameters:
      set - address-set corresponding to program
      otherProgram - target program which corresponds to the returned address set.
      Returns:
      translated address-set

    • getCompatibleAddressSet

      public static AddressSet getCompatibleAddressSet(AddressRange range, Program otherProgram, boolean exactMatchOnly)
      Convert an address range from one program to a compatible address set in the specified otherProgram. Only memory addresses will be considered. If none of the range can be converted then null is returned.
      Parameters:
      range - address range to convert
      otherProgram - target program which corresponds to the returned address range.
      exactMatchOnly - if true and a one-to-one address mapping cannot be identified null will be returned, otherwise a partial set may be returned or null if no valid translation was found.
      Returns:
      compatible address set or null
