Detailed Description

A Symbol representing an executable function.

This Symbol owns the Funcdata object for the function it represents. The formal Symbol is thus associated with all the meta-data about the function.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FunctionSymbol()

ghidra::FunctionSymbol::FunctionSymbol	(	Scope *	sc,
		const string &	nm,
		int4	size
	)

Construct given the name.

Build a function shell, made up of just the name of the function and a placeholder data-type, without the underlying Funcdata object. A SymbolEntry for a function has a small size starting at the entry address, in order to deal with non-contiguous functions. We need a size (slightly) larger than 1 to accommodate pointer constants that encode extra information in the lower bit(s) of an otherwise aligned pointer. If the encoding is not initially detected, it is interpreted as a straight address that comes up 1 (or more) bytes off of the start of the function In order to detect this, we need to lay down a slightly larger size than 1

Parameters

sc	is the Scope that will contain the new Symbol
nm	is the name of the new Symbol
size	is the number of bytes a SymbolEntry should consume

Member Function Documentation

◆ decode()

void ghidra::FunctionSymbol::decode ( Decoder & decoder )

virtual

Decode this Symbol from a stream.

Parse a Symbol from the next element in the stream

Parameters

decoder is the stream decoder

Reimplemented from ghidra::Symbol.

References ghidra::Decoder::closeElement(), consumeSize, ghidra::Funcdata::decode(), ghidra::Symbol::displayName, fd, ghidra::Funcdata::getAddress(), ghidra::Funcdata::getDisplayName(), ghidra::Funcdata::getName(), ghidra::Decoder::getNextAttributeId(), ghidra::Funcdata::getSize(), ghidra::Symbol::name, ghidra::Decoder::openElement(), ghidra::Decoder::peekElement(), ghidra::Decoder::readString(), ghidra::Decoder::readUnsignedInteger(), ghidra::Symbol::scope, and ghidra::Symbol::symbolId.

◆ encode()

void ghidra::FunctionSymbol::encode ( Encoder & encoder ) const

virtual

Encode this Symbol to a stream.

Parameters

encoder is the stream encoder

Reimplemented from ghidra::Symbol.

References ghidra::Encoder::closeElement(), ghidra::Funcdata::encode(), fd, ghidra::Symbol::name, ghidra::Encoder::openElement(), ghidra::Symbol::symbolId, ghidra::Encoder::writeString(), and ghidra::Encoder::writeUnsignedInteger().

◆ getBytesConsumed()

virtual int4 ghidra::FunctionSymbol::getBytesConsumed ( void ) const

inlinevirtual

Get number of bytes consumed within the address->symbol map.

Get the number of bytes consumed by a SymbolEntry representing this Symbol. By default, this is the number of bytes consumed by the Symbol's data-type. This gives the amount of leeway a search has when the address queried does not match the exact address of the Symbol. With functions, the bytes consumed by a SymbolEntry may not match the data-type size.

Returns: the number of bytes in a default SymbolEntry

Reimplemented from ghidra::Symbol.
