Detailed Description

Symbolize and annotate disassembled instructions.

For now this mimics the old symbolization logic (from both ARM and x86), that relied on user-provided (C API) callbacks to do the actual symbol lookup in the object file. This was moved to MCExternalSymbolizer. A better API would not rely on actually calling the two methods here from inside each disassembler, but would use the instr info to determine what operands are actually symbolizable, and in what way. I don't think this information exists right now.

◆ getReferencedAddresses()

virtual ArrayRef< uint64_t > llvm::MCSymbolizer::getReferencedAddresses ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Get the MCSymbolizer's list of addresses that were referenced by symbolizable operands but not resolved to a symbol.

The caller (some code that is disassembling a section or other chunk of code) would typically create a synthetic label at each address and add them to its list of symbols in the section, before creating a new MCSymbolizer with the enhanced symbol list and retrying disassembling the section. The returned array is unordered and may have duplicates. The returned ArrayRef stops being valid on any call to or destruction of the MCSymbolizer object.

Reimplemented in llvm::AMDGPUSymbolizer.

◆ tryAddingPcLoadReferenceComment()

virtual void llvm::MCSymbolizer::tryAddingPcLoadReferenceComment ( raw_ostream cStream,
int64_t  Value,
uint64_t  Address 
)
pure virtual

Try to add a comment on the PC-relative load.

For instance, in Mach-O, this is used to add annotations to instructions that use C string literals, as found in __cstring.

Implemented in llvm::MCExternalSymbolizer, and llvm::AMDGPUSymbolizer.

◆ tryAddingSymbolicOperand()

virtual bool llvm::MCSymbolizer::tryAddingSymbolicOperand ( MCInst Inst,
raw_ostream cStream,
int64_t  Value,
uint64_t  Address,
bool  IsBranch,
uint64_t  Offset,
uint64_t  OpSize,
uint64_t  InstSize 
)
pure virtual

Try to add a symbolic operand instead of Value to the MCInst.

Instead of having a difficult to read immediate, a symbolic operand would represent this immediate in a more understandable way, for instance as a symbol or an offset from a symbol. Relocations can also be used to enrich the symbolic expression.

Parameters
Inst- The MCInst where to insert the symbolic operand.
cStream- Stream to print comments and annotations on.
Value- Operand value, pc-adjusted by the caller if necessary.
Address- Load address of the instruction.
IsBranch- Is the instruction a branch?
Offset- Byte offset of the operand inside the inst.
OpSize- Size of the operand in bytes.
InstSize- Size of the instruction in bytes.
Returns
Whether a symbolic operand was added.

Implemented in llvm::AMDGPUSymbolizer, llvm::MCExternalSymbolizer, and llvm::AArch64ExternalSymbolizer.
