class Platform(arch: Architecture | None = None, handle=None)[source]

Bases: object

class Platform contains all information related to the execution environment of the binary, mainly the calling conventions used.

Parameters:

arch (Architecture | None) –

generate_auto_platform_type_ref(type_class, name)[source]
get_associated_platform_by_address(addr)[source]

get_function_by_name(name, exactMatch=False)[source]
classmethod get_list(os=None, arch=None)[source]
get_system_call_name(number)[source]
get_system_call_type(number)[source]

Return type:

get_variable_by_name(name)[source]
parse_types_from_source(source, filename=None, include_dirs: List[str] | None = None, auto_type_source=None)[source]

parse_types_from_source parses the source string and any needed headers searching for them in the optional list of directories provided in include_dirs. Note that this API does not allow the source to rely on existing types that only exist in a specific view. Use BinaryView.parse_type_string instead.

Parameters:
  • source (str) – source string to be parsed

  • filename (str) – optional source filename

  • include_dirs (list(str)) – optional list of string filename include directories

  • auto_type_source (str) – optional source of types if used for automatically generated types

Returns:

BasicTypeParserResult (a SyntaxError is thrown on parse error)

Return type:

BasicTypeParserResult

Example:
>>> platform.parse_types_from_source('int foo;\nint bar(int x);\nstruct bas{int x,y;};\n')
({types: {'bas': <type: struct bas>}, variables: {'foo': <type: int32_t>}, functions:{'bar':
<type: int32_t(int32_t x)>}}, '')
>>>
parse_types_from_source_file(filename, include_dirs: List[str] | None = None, auto_type_source=None)[source]

parse_types_from_source_file parses the source file filename and any needed headers searching for them in the optional list of directories provided in include_dirs. Note that this API does not allow the source to rely on existing types that only exist in a specific view. Use BinaryView.parse_type_string instead.

Parameters:
  • filename (str) – filename of file to be parsed

  • include_dirs (list(str)) – optional list of string filename include directories

  • auto_type_source (str) – optional source of types if used for automatically generated types

Returns:

BasicTypeParserResult (a SyntaxError is thrown on parse error)

Return type:

BasicTypeParserResult

Example:
>>> file = "/Users/binja/tmp.c"
>>> open(file).read()
'int foo;\nint bar(int x);\nstruct bas{int x,y;};\n'
>>> platform.parse_types_from_source_file(file)
({types: {'bas': <type: struct bas>}, variables: {'foo': <type: int32_t>}, functions:
{'bar': <type: int32_t(int32_t x)>}}, '')
>>>
register(os)[source]
