Description
Provides and caches instructions.
This class returns an instruction for a given address, caching the instruction so that the same instruction is returned each time the same address is specified. If an instruction cannot be returned because it doesn't exist then a null pointer should be returned. If an instruction cannot be disassembled at the specified address then an "unknown" instruction should be returned.
An instruction provider normally uses a supplied disassembler to obtain instructions that aren't in its cache. However, the user can initialize the cache explicitly and turn off the ability to call a disassembler. A disassembler is always required regardless of whether its used to obtain new instructions because the disassembler has the canonical information about the machine architecture: what registers are defined, which registers are the program counter and stack pointer, which instruction semantics dispatcher can be used with the instructions, etc.

Static allocating Constructor.
The disassembler is required even if the user plans to turn off the ability to obtain instructions from the disassembler. The memory map should be configured so that all segments that potentially contain instructions have execute permission. Any readable/nonwritable segments will be considered to be constant for the life of the specimen. For instance, if a linking step has initialized the dynamic linking tables then those tables can be marked as readable and non-writable so that indirect jumps through the table will result in concrete execution addresses.
The disassembler is owned by the caller and should not be freed until after the instruction provider is destroyed. The memory map is copied into the instruction provider.

Enable or disable the disassembler.
When the disassembler is disabled then it is not called when a new instruction is needed, but rather a null instruction pointer is returned (and cached).

| SgAsmInstruction* Rose::BinaryAnalysis::InstructionProvider::operator[] | ( | rose_addr_t | va | ) | const |
Returns the instruction at the specified virtual address, or null.
If the virtual address is non-executable then a null pointer is returned, otherwise either a valid instruction or an "unknown" instruction is returned. An "unknown" instruction is used for cases where a valid instruction could not be disassembled, including the case when the first byte of a multi-byte instruction is executable but the remaining bytes are not executable.
| void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::InstructionProvider::insert | ( | SgAsmInstruction * | ) |
Insert an instruction into the cache.
This instruction provider saves a pointer to the instruction without taking ownership. If an instruction already exists at the new instruction's address then the new instruction replaces the old instruction.
|
inline |
Returns the disassembler.
Returns the disassembler pointer provided in the constructor. The disassembler is not owned by this instruction provider, but must not be freed until after the instruction provider is destroyed.
Definition at line 144 of file InstructionProvider.h.
|
inline |
Returns number of cached starting addresses.
The number of cached starting addresses includes those addresses where an instruction exists, and those addresses where an instruction is known to not exist.
This is a constant-time operation.

Instruction dispatcher.
Returns a pointer to a dispatcher used for instruction semantics. Not all architectures support instruction semantics, in which case a null pointer is returned. The returned dispatcher is not connected to any semantic domain, so it can only be used to call its virtual constructor to create a valid dispatcher.
