◆ IndexIntervals

A vector of instruction indices.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NoOperation() [1/3]

Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::NoOperation ( )

Default constructor.

Since this default constructor has no information about the virtual CPU, it will assume that all instructions have an effect.

◆ NoOperation() [2/3]

Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::NoOperation ( const InstructionSemantics::BaseSemantics::DispatcherPtr cpu)
inlineexplicit

Construct a new analysis with specified virtual CPU.

Definition at line 77 of file NoOperation.h.

◆ NoOperation() [3/3]

Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::NoOperation ( const BinaryAnalysis::Disassembler::BasePtr )
explicit

Construct a new analysis for a specific disassembler.

An analysis constructed this way will use the symbolic semantics domain.

◆ stateNormalizer() [1/2]

StateNormalizer::Ptr Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::stateNormalizer ( ) const
inline

Property: state normalizer.

The state normalizer is responsible for normalizing a virtual machine state and turning it into a string. When looking for no-ops, if two state strings compare equal then the instruction(s) that transitioned the machine from one state to the other are effectively a no-op. In particular, the state normalizer should probably not try to compare instruction pointer registers, or memory that was read without being written (i.e., memory that sprang into existence by reading). The default normalizer does both of these things if the register state is derived from InstructionSemantics::BaseSemantics::RegisterStateGeneric and the memory state is derived from InstructionSemantics::BaseSemantics::MemoryCellList.

Definition at line 96 of file NoOperation.h.

◆ stateNormalizer() [2/2]

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::stateNormalizer ( const StateNormalizer::Ptr f)
inline

Property: state normalizer.

The state normalizer is responsible for normalizing a virtual machine state and turning it into a string. When looking for no-ops, if two state strings compare equal then the instruction(s) that transitioned the machine from one state to the other are effectively a no-op. In particular, the state normalizer should probably not try to compare instruction pointer registers, or memory that was read without being written (i.e., memory that sprang into existence by reading).

◆ initialStackPointer() [1/2]

const Sawyer::Optional< rose_addr_t > Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::initialStackPointer ( ) const
inline

Property: initial concrete value for stack pointer.

A concrete initial value for the stack pointer can be used to help decide whether memory addresses are recently popped. It may be possible to do this without a concrete value also, depending on the semantic domain.

Definition at line 106 of file NoOperation.h.

◆ initialStackPointer() [2/2]

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::initialStackPointer ( const Sawyer::Optional< rose_addr_t > &  v)
inline

Property: initial concrete value for stack pointer.

A concrete initial value for the stack pointer can be used to help decide whether memory addresses are recently popped. It may be possible to do this without a concrete value also, depending on the semantic domain.

Definition at line 107 of file NoOperation.h.

◆ ignoreTerminalBranches() [1/2]

bool Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::ignoreTerminalBranches ( ) const
inline

Property: Whether terminal branches can be no-ops.

If set (the default) then branch instructions that appear as the last instruction of a basic block, and which have one constant, known successor which is not the fall-through address are not considered to be part of any no-op sequence.

Definition at line 116 of file NoOperation.h.

◆ ignoreTerminalBranches() [2/2]

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::ignoreTerminalBranches ( bool  b)
inline

Property: Whether terminal branches can be no-ops.

If set (the default) then branch instructions that appear as the last instruction of a basic block, and which have one constant, known successor which is not the fall-through address are not considered to be part of any no-op sequence.

Definition at line 117 of file NoOperation.h.

◆ largestEarliestNonOverlapping()

static IndexIntervals Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::largestEarliestNonOverlapping ( const IndexIntervals )
static

Select certain no-op sequences.

Given a list of no-op sequences, such as returned by findNoopSubsequences, process the list so that the largest non-overlapping sequences are returned. If sequence A is larger than sequence B, then B is discarded. If A and B are the same size and overlap and A starts before B then B is discarded.

The return value is sorted by decreasing size and contains non-overlapping intervals.

◆ toVector()

static std::vector< bool > Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::toVector ( const IndexIntervals ,
size_t  size = 0 
)
static

Return a boolean vector.

Returns a vector with one element per instruction. The element is true if the instruction is part of one of the specified index intervals. The returned vector will contain at least size elements.

◆ initDiagnostics()

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

Initializes and registers disassembler diagnostic streams.

See Diagnostics::initialize().

Member Data Documentation

◆ mlog

Sawyer::Message::Facility Rose::BinaryAnalysis::NoOperation::mlog
