Detailed Description

An interface to the pool of constant objects for byte-code languages.

This is an abstract base class that acts as a container for CPoolRecords. A reference (1 or more integer constants) maps to an individual CPoolRecord. A CPoolRecord object can be queried for using getRecord(), and a new object can be added with putRecord(). Internally, the actual CPoolRecord object is produced by createRecord().

Member Function Documentation

clear()

virtual void ConstantPool::clear ( void  )

pure virtual

Release any (local) resources.

Implemented in ConstantPoolInternal, and ConstantPoolGhidra.

Referenced by FlushNative::rawAction().

createRecord()

virtual CPoolRecord * ConstantPool::createRecord ( const vector< uintb > &  refs )

privatepure virtual

Allocate a new CPoolRecord object, given a reference to it.

The object will still need to be initialized but is already associated with the reference. Any issue with allocation (like a dupicate reference) causes an exception.

Parameters

refs	is the reference of 1 or more identifying integers

Returns

the new CPoolRecord

Implemented in ConstantPoolInternal, and ConstantPoolGhidra.

Referenced by decodeRecord(), and putRecord().

decode()

virtual void ConstantPool::decode ( Decoder &  decoder, TypeFactory &  typegrp  )

pure virtual

Restore constant pool records from the given stream decoder.

(If supported) The container is populated with CPoolRecords initialized from a <constantpool> element.

Parameters

decoder	is the given stream decoder
typegrp	is the TypeFactory used to resolve data-type references in the XML

Implemented in ConstantPoolInternal, and ConstantPoolGhidra.

Referenced by Architecture::restoreXml().

decodeRecord()

const CPoolRecord * ConstantPool::decodeRecord	(	const vector< uintb > &	refs,
		Decoder &	decoder,
		TypeFactory &	typegrp
	)

Restore a CPoolRecord given a reference and a stream decoder.

A <cpoolrec> element initializes the new record which is immediately associated with the reference.

Parameters

refs	is the reference (made up of 1 or more identifying integers)
decoder	is the given stream decoder
typegrp	is the TypeFactory used to resolve data-type references in XML

Returns

the newly allocated and initialized CPoolRecord

References createRecord(), and CPoolRecord::decode().

Referenced by ConstantPoolGhidra::getRecord().

empty()

virtual bool ConstantPool::empty ( void  ) const

pure virtual

Is the container empty of records.

Implemented in ConstantPoolInternal, and ConstantPoolGhidra.

Referenced by Architecture::encode().

encode()

virtual void ConstantPool::encode ( Encoder &  encoder ) const

pure virtual

Encode all records in this container to a stream.

(If supported) A <constantpool> element is written containing <cpoolrec> child elements for each CPoolRecord in the container.

Parameters

encoder

is the stream encoder

Implemented in ConstantPoolInternal, and ConstantPoolGhidra.

Referenced by Architecture::encode().

getRecord()

virtual const CPoolRecord * ConstantPool::getRecord ( const vector< uintb > &  refs ) const

pure virtual

Retrieve a constant pool record (CPoolRecord) given a reference to it.

Parameters

refs	is the reference (made up of 1 or more identifying integers)

Returns

the matching CPoolRecord or NULL if none matches the reference

Implemented in ConstantPoolInternal, and ConstantPoolGhidra.

Referenced by RuleTransformCpool::applyOp(), TypeOpCpoolref::getOutputLocal(), PrintC::opCpoolRefOp(), PrintJava::opCpoolRefOp(), and TypeOpCpoolref::printRaw().

putRecord()

void ConstantPool::putRecord	(	const vector< uintb > &	refs,
		uint4	tag,
		const string &	tok,
		Datatype *	ct
	)

A a new constant pool record to this database.

Given the basic constituents of the record, type, name, and data-type, create a new CPoolRecord object and associate it with the given reference.

Parameters

refs	is the reference (made up of 1 or more identifying integers)
tag	is the type of record to create
tok	is the name associated with the object
ct	is the data-type associated with the object
