Module idc

IDC compatibility module

This file contains IDA built-in function declarations and internal bit definitions. Each byte of the program has 32-bit flags (low 8 bits keep the byte value). These 32 bits are used in get_full_flags/get_flags functions.

This file is subject to change without any notice. Future versions of IDA may use other definitions.

set_segm_attr(segea, attr, value)

 

Set segment attribute

Parameters:
  • segea - any address within segment
  • attr - one of SEGATTR_... constants

Note: Please note that not all segment attributes are modifiable. Also some of them should be modified using special functions like set_segm_addressing, etc.

1 upon success, 0 otherwise.

get_frame_id(ea)

 

Get ID of function frame structure

1-ok, 0-failure

set_bpt_attr(address, bptattr, value)

op_plain_offset(ea, n, base)

 

Convert operand to an offset (for the explanations of 'ea' and 'n' please see op_bin())

Example:

seg000:2000 dw 1234h

and there is a segment at paragraph 0x1000 and there is a data item within the segment at 0x1234:

seg000:1234 MyString db 'Hello, world!',0

Then you need to specify a linear address of the segment base to create a proper offset:

op_plain_offset(["seg000",0x2000],0,0x10000);

and you will have:

seg000:2000 dw offset MyString

force_bl_jump(ea)

 

Some ARM compilers in Thumb mode use BL (branch-and-link) instead of B (branch) for long jumps, since BL has more range. By default, IDA tries to determine if BL is a jump or a call. You can override IDA's decision using commands in Edit/Other menu (Force BL call/Force BL jump) or the following two functions.

Force BL instruction to be a jump

Parameters:
  • ea - address of the BL instruction
Returns:
1-ok, 0-failed

Parse one or more ida.cfg config directives

Parameters:
  • directive - directives to process, for example: PACK_DATABASE=2

Note: If the directives are erroneous, a fatal error will be generated. The settings are permanent: effective for the current session and the next ones
