Detailed Description

A base class for operations that access volatile memory.

The decompiler models volatile memory by converting any direct read or write of the memory to a function that accesses the memory. This class and its derived classes model such functions. Within the p-code control-flow, dedicated user defined ops serve as a placeholder for the (possibly unknown) effects of modifying/accessing the memory and prevent accidental constant propagation.

Member Function Documentation

◆ appendSize()

string ghidra::VolatileOp::appendSize ( const string &  base,
int4  size 
)
staticprotected

Append a suffix to a string encoding a specific size.

This allows a single user defined operator to have multiple symbol names based on the size of its operands in context.

Parameters
baseis the string to append the suffix to
sizeis the size to encode expressed as the number of bytes
Returns
the appended string

Referenced by ghidra::VolatileReadOp::getOperatorName(), and ghidra::VolatileWriteOp::getOperatorName().

◆ decode()

virtual void ghidra::VolatileOp::decode ( Decoder decoder)
inlinevirtual

Currently volatile ops only need their name.

Implements ghidra::UserPcodeOp.
