Detailed Description

Special Datatype object used to describe pointers that index into the symbol table.

A TypeSpacebase treats a specific AddrSpace as "structure" that will get indexed in to. This facilitates type propagation from local symbols into the stack space and from global symbols into the RAM space.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual Datatype * ghidra::TypeSpacebase::clone ( void  ) const
inlinevirtual

Clone the data-type.

Implements ghidra::Datatype.

◆ compare()

int4 ghidra::TypeSpacebase::compare ( const Datatype op,
int4  level 
) const
virtual

Order types for propagation.

Order this with another data-type, in a way suitable for the type propagation algorithm. Bigger types come earlier. More specific types come earlier.

Parameters
opis the data-type to compare with this
levelis maximum level to descend when recursively comparing
Returns
negative, 0, positive depending on ordering of types

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

References compareDependency().

◆ compareDependency()

int4 ghidra::TypeSpacebase::compareDependency ( const Datatype op) const
virtual

Compare for storage in tree structure.

Sort data-types for the main TypeFactory container. The sort needs to be based on the data-type structure so that an example data-type, constructed outside the factory, can be used to find the equivalent object inside the factory. This means the comparison should not examine the data-type id. In practice, the comparison only needs to go down one level in the component structure before just comparing component pointers.

Parameters
opis the data-type to compare with this
Returns
negative, 0, positive depending on ordering of types

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

References ghidra::Datatype::compareDependency(), ghidra::Address::isInvalid(), localframe, and spaceid.

Referenced by compare().

◆ decode()

void ghidra::TypeSpacebase::decode ( Decoder decoder,
TypeFactory typegrp 
)
private

Restore this spacebase data-type from a stream.

Parse the <type> tag.

Parameters
decoderis the stream decoder
typegrpis the factory owning this data-type

References ghidra::Address::decode(), ghidra::Datatype::decodeBasic(), localframe, ghidra::Decoder::readSpace(), and spaceid.

Referenced by ghidra::TypeFactory::decodeTypeNoRef().

◆ encode()

void ghidra::TypeSpacebase::encode ( Encoder encoder) const
virtual

Encode the data-type to a stream.

Encode a formal description of the data-type as a <type> element. For composite data-types, the description goes down one level, describing the component types only by reference.

Parameters
encoderis the stream encoder

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

References ghidra::Encoder::closeElement(), ghidra::Address::encode(), ghidra::Datatype::encodeBasic(), ghidra::Datatype::encodeTypedef(), localframe, ghidra::Datatype::metatype, ghidra::Encoder::openElement(), spaceid, ghidra::Datatype::typedefImm, and ghidra::Encoder::writeSpace().

◆ getAddress()

Address ghidra::TypeSpacebase::getAddress ( uintb  off,
int4  sz,
const Address point 
) const

Construct an Address given an offset.

Return the Address being referred to by a specific offset relative to a pointer with this Datatype

Parameters
offis the offset relative to the pointer
szis the size of offset (as a pointer)
pointis a "context" reference for the request
Returns
the referred to Address

◆ getMap()

Scope * ghidra::TypeSpacebase::getMap ( void  ) const

◆ getSubType()

Datatype * ghidra::TypeSpacebase::getSubType ( int8  off,
int8 *  newoff 
) const
virtual

Recover component data-type one-level down.

Given an offset into this data-type, return the component data-type at that offset. Also, pass back a "renormalized" offset suitable for recursize getSubType() calls: i.e. if the original offset hits the exact start of the sub-type, 0 is passed back. If there is no valid component data-type at the offset, return NULL and pass back the original offset

Parameters
offis the offset into this data-type
newoffis a pointer to the passed-back offset
Returns
a pointer to the component data-type or NULL

Reimplemented from ghidra::Datatype.

◆ nearestArrayedComponentBackward()

int8 *  newoff,
int8 *  elSize

Find the first component data-type that is (or contains) an array starting after the given offset, and pass back the difference between the component's start and the given offset. Return the component data-type or null if no array is found.

Parameters
