Detailed Description

Description of the indirect effect a sub-function has on a memory range.

This object applies only to the specific memory range, which is seen from the point of view of the calling function as a particular sub-function gets called. The main enumeration below lists the possible effects.

Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

anonymous enum

Enumerator
unaffected	The sub-function does not change the value at all.
killedbycall	The memory is changed and is completely unrelated to its original value.
return_address	The memory is being used to store the return address.
unknown_effect	An unknown effect (indicates the absence of an EffectRecord)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EffectRecord() [1/3]

EffectRecord::EffectRecord	(	const Address &	addr,
		int4	size
	)

Construct a memory range with an unknown effect.

The type is set to unknown_effect

Parameters

addr	is the start of the memory range
size	is the number of bytes in the memory range

References Address::getOffset(), Address::getSpace(), VarnodeData::offset, range, VarnodeData::size, VarnodeData::space, type, and unknown_effect.

EffectRecord() [2/3]

EffectRecord::EffectRecord	(	const ParamEntry &	entry,
		uint4	t
	)

Construct an effect on a parameter storage location.

Parameters

entry	is a model of the parameter storage
t	is the effect type

References ParamEntry::getBase(), ParamEntry::getSize(), ParamEntry::getSpace(), VarnodeData::offset, range, VarnodeData::size, VarnodeData::space, and type.

EffectRecord() [3/3]

EffectRecord::EffectRecord	(	const VarnodeData &	data,
		uint4	t
	)

Construct an effect on a memory range.

Parameters

data	is the memory range affected
t	is the effect type

References range, and type.

Member Function Documentation

compareByAddress()

bool EffectRecord::compareByAddress ( const EffectRecord &  op1, const EffectRecord &  op2  )

inlinestatic

Compare two EffectRecords by their start Address.

Parameters

op1	is the first record to compare
op2	is the other record to compare

Returns

true if this should be ordered before the other record

References AddrSpace::getIndex(), VarnodeData::offset, range, and VarnodeData::space.

Referenced by ProtoModel::decode(), FuncProto::decodeEffect(), ProtoModelMerged::intersectEffects(), ProtoModel::lookupEffect(), and ProtoModel::lookupRecord().

decode()

void EffectRecord::decode	(	uint4	grouptype,
		Decoder &	decoder
	)

Decode the record from a stream.

Parse an <addr> element to get the memory range. The effect type is inherited from the parent.

Parameters

grouptype	is the effect inherited from the parent
decoder	is the stream decoder

References VarnodeData::decode(), range, and type.

encode()

void EffectRecord::encode

(

Encoder &

encoder

)

const

Encode the record to a stream.

Encode just an <addr> element. The effect type is indicated by the parent element.

Parameters

encoder

is the stream encoder
