Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention Namespace Reference

Description

Support for binary calling conventions.

This namespace has three main classes and a number of auxiliary classes. The main classes are:

• Definition describes a particular calling convention based on external documentation of that calling convention.

• Dictionary is a collection of calling convention definitions.

• Analysis performs an analysis and can determine which definitions best match the characteristics of some specified function.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::StackParameterOrder

The order that arguments are pushed onto the stack.

Enumerator
LEFT_TO_RIGHT	Stack parameters pushed left to right (Pascal order).
RIGHT_TO_LEFT	Stack parameters pushed right to left (C order).
ORDER_UNSPECIFIED	Stack parameter order is unknown or unspecified.

Definition at line 49 of file BinaryCallingConvention.h.

enum Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::StackDirection

The direction in which the stack grows.

Enumerator
GROWS_UP	A push increments the stack pointer.
GROWS_DOWN	A push decrements the stack pointer.

Definition at line 56 of file BinaryCallingConvention.h.

enum Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::StackCleanup

Who is responsible for popping stack parameters.

Enumerator
CLEANUP_BY_CALLER	The caller pops all stack parameters.
CLEANUP_BY_CALLEE	The called function pops all stack parameters.
CLEANUP_UNSPECIFIED	Stack parameter cleanup is unknown or unspecified.

Definition at line 62 of file BinaryCallingConvention.h.

Function Documentation

void Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::initDiagnostics

(

)

Initialize diagnostics.

This is normally called as part of ROSE's diagnostics initialization, but it doesn't hurt to call it often.

const Dictionary& Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::dictionaryAmd64

(

)

Common calling conventions for amd64 (x86-64).

const Dictionary& Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::dictionaryArm

(

)

Common calling conventions for ARM.

const Dictionary& Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::dictionaryM68k

(

)

Common calling conventions for m68k.

const Dictionary& Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::dictionaryMips

(

)

Common calling conventions for MIPS.

const Dictionary& Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::dictionaryPowerpc

(

)

Common calling conventions for PowerPC.

const Dictionary& Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::dictionaryX86

(

)

Common calling conventions for 32-bit x86.

Variable Documentation

Sawyer::Message::Facility Rose::BinaryAnalysis::CallingConvention::mlog

Facility for diagnostic output.

The facility can be controlled directly or via ROSE's command-line.
