ida_problems Namespace Reference

Detailed Description

Functions that deal with the list of problems.

There are several problem lists. An address may be inserted to any list. The
kernel simply maintains these lists, no additional processing is done.

The problem lists are accessible for the user from the View->Subviews->Problems
menu item.

Addresses in the lists are kept sorted. In general IDA just maintains these
lists without using them during analysis (except PR_ROLLED).

Functions
"qstring *"	get_problem_desc (*args)
	get_problem_desc(t, ea) -> str Get the human-friendly description of the problem, if one was provided to remember_problem.
"void"	remember_problem (*args)
	remember_problem(type, ea, msg=None) Insert an address to a list of problems.
"ea_t"	get_problem (*args)
	get_problem(type, lowea) -> ea_t Get an address from the specified problem list.
"bool"	forget_problem (*args)
	forget_problem(type, ea) -> bool Remove an address from a problem list
"char const *"	get_problem_name (*args)
	get_problem_name(type, longname=True) -> char const * Get problem list description.
"bool"	is_problem_present (*args)
	is_problem_present(t, ea) -> bool Check if the specified address is present in the problem list.
"bool"	was_ida_decision (*args)
	was_ida_decision(ea) -> bool

forget_problem()

"bool" forget_problem

(

*

args

)

Parameters

type	(C++: problist_id_t) problem list type
ea	(C++: ea_t) linear address

Returns

: success

get_problem()

"ea_t" get_problem

(

*

args

)

The address is not removed from the list.

Parameters

type	(C++: problist_id_t) problem list type
lowea	(C++: ea_t) the returned address will be higher or equal than the specified address

Returns

: linear address or BADADDR

get_problem_desc()

"qstring *" get_problem_desc

(

*

args

)

Parameters

t	(C++: problist_id_t) problem list type.
ea	(C++: ea_t) linear address.

Returns

: the message length or -1 if none

get_problem_name()

(

*

args

)

Parameters

type	(C++: problist_id_t)

(

*

args

)

Display a message saying about the problem (except of PR_ATTN,PR_FINAL) PR_JUMP is temporarily ignored.

Parameters

type	(C++: problist_id_t) problem list type
ea	(C++: ea_t) linear address
msg	(C++: const char *) a user-friendly message to be displayed instead of the default more generic one associated with the type of problem. Defaults to nullptr.
