Member Typedef Documentation

typedef Sawyer::SharedPointer<Debugger> Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::Ptr

Shared-ownership pointer to Debugger.

See Shared ownership.

Definition at line 28 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

typedef BitFlags<FilterActionFlags> Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::FilterAction

Return value for tracing.

The return value from the trace filter indicates whether the current address should be appended to the trace or rejected, and whether the tracing operation should continue or stop. A default constructed FilterAction will append the current address to the trace and continue tracing, which is normally what one wants.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::DetachMode

How to detach from a process when the debugger is destroyed.

Enumerator
KILL	Kill the process.
DETACH	Simply detach leaving process in current state.
CONTINUE	Detach from process and cause it to continue running.
NOTHING	Do nothing.

Definition at line 31 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

enum Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::Flag

Flags controlling operation.

Enumerator
ATTACH	Attach to existing process.
REDIRECT_INPUT	Redirect input from /dev/null.
REDIRECT_OUTPUT	Redirect output to /dev/null.
REDIRECT_ERROR	Redirect standard error to /dev/null.
CLOSE_FILES	Close all file descriptors > 2.
DEFAULT_FLAGS	Default flags.

Definition at line 39 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

enum Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::FilterActionFlags

Action for trace filter callback.

Enumerator
REJECT	Reject the current address, not appending it to the trace.
STOP	Abort tracing, either appending or rejecting the current address.

Member Function Documentation

static Ptr Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::instance ( )

inlinestatic

Create a debugger object that isn't attached to any subordinate process.

Definition at line 238 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

Referenced by Rose::BinaryAnalysis::InstructionSemantics2::NativeSemantics::Dispatcher::instance().

static Ptr Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::instance ( const Specimen & specimen )

inlinestatic

Create a debugger and start debugging a specimen.

Definition at line 243 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::attach	(	const Specimen &	,
		Sawyer::Optional< DetachMode >	onDelete = `Sawyer::Nothing()`
	)

Attach to a specimen.

The onDelete argument specifies what to do with the subordinate process if this debugger object is deleted while the subordinate is still attached. If onDelete is not specified, then a reasonable value is chosen: for subordinates that existed prior to attaching (e.g., Linux process ID), the default detach mechanism is either DETACH or NOTHING depending on whether the Specimen ATTACH flag was set or clear. For subordniates that are created by this attach method (such as ELF executables), the detach mechanism is KILL.

Referenced by Debugger().

int Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::isAttached ( )

inline

Returns true if attached to a subordinate.

Return value is the subordinate process ID.

Definition at line 262 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::detach ( Sawyer::Optional< DetachMode > mode = Sawyer::Nothing() )

Detach from the subordinate.

If a detach mode is specified then use that mechanism to detatch. Otherwise use whatever mechanism was chosen as the default during the attach operation.

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::terminate ( )

Terminate the subordinate.

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::executionAddress ( rose_addr_t va )

Set execution address.

rose_addr_t Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::executionAddress ( )

Get execution address.

Referenced by trace().

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::setBreakpoint ( const AddressInterval & )

Set breakpoints.

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::clearBreakpoint ( const AddressInterval & )

Remove breakpoints.

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::clearBreakpoints ( )

inline

Remove all breakpoints.

Definition at line 290 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

References Sawyer::Container::IntervalSet< I >::clear().

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::singleStep ( )

Execute one instruction.

Referenced by trace().

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::runToBreakpoint ( )

Run until the next breakpoint is reached.

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::runToSyscall ( )

Run until the next system call.

The subordinate is run until it is about to make a system call or has just returned from a system call, or it has encountered a signal or terminated. Execution does not stop at break points.

Sawyer::Container::Trace<rose_addr_t> Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::trace ( )

Run the program and return an execution trace.

template<class Filter >

Sawyer::Container::Trace<rose_addr_t> Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::trace ( Filter & filter )

inline

Run the program and return an execution trace.

At each step along the execution, the filter functor is invoked and passed the current execution address. The return value of type FilterAction from the filter functor controls whether the address is appended to the trace and whether the tracing should continue.

Definition at line 326 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

size_t Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::kernelWordSize ( )

Obtain and cache kernel's word size in bits.

The wordsize of the kernel is not necessarily the same as the word size of the compiled version of this header.

Sawyer::Container::BitVector Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::readRegister ( RegisterDescriptor )

Read subordinate register.

Some registers are wider than what can be easily represented on this architecture (e.g., x86 XMM registers are 128 bits), therefore return the result as a bit vector. If you want just the low-order 64 bits, invoke it like this:

uint64_t value = debugger->readRegister(RIP).toInteger();

Sawyer::Container::BitVector Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::readMemory	(	rose_addr_t	va,
		size_t	nBytes,
		ByteOrder::Endianness	order
	)

Read subordinate memory as a bit vector.

uint64_t value = debugger->readMemory(0x12345678, 4, ByteOrder::ORDER_LSB).toInteger();

size_t Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::readMemory	(	rose_addr_t	va,
		size_t	nBytes,
		uint8_t *	buffer
	)

Read subordinate memory.

Returns the number of bytes read. The implementation accesses the subordinate memory via proc filesystem rather than sending PTRACE_PEEKDATA commands. This allows large areas of memory to be read efficiently.

std::string Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::readCString	(	rose_addr_t	va,
		size_t	maxBytes = `UNLIMITED`
	)

Read C-style NUL-terminated string from subordinate.

Reads up to maxBytes bytes from the subordinate or until an ASCII NUL character is read, concatenates all the characters (except the NUL) into a C++ string and returns it. The maxBytes includes the NUL terminator although the NUL terminator is not returned as part of the string.

bool Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::isTerminated ( )

Returns true if the subordinate terminated.

Referenced by trace().

std::string Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::howTerminated ( )

String describing how the subordinate process terminated.

const RegisterDictionary* Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::registerDictionary ( ) const

Available registers.

Disassembler* Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::disassembler ( ) const

inline

Disassembler.

Definition at line 384 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

int Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::waitpidStatus ( ) const

inline

Returns the last status from a call to waitpid.

Definition at line 389 of file BinaryDebugger.h.

static void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::Debugger::initDiagnostics ( )

static

Initialize diagnostic output.

This is called automatically when ROSE is initialized.
