replay_prototypes_changes

summary: record and replay changes in function prototypes

description:

This is a sample script, that will record (in memory) all changes in functions prototypes, in order to re-apply them later.

To use this script:

• open an IDB (say, “test.idb”)

• modify some functions prototypes (e.g., by triggering the ‘Y’ shortcut when the cursor is placed on the first address of a function)

• reload that IDB, without saving it first

• call rpc.replay(), to re-apply the modifications.

Note: ‘ti_changed’ is also called for changes to the function frames, but we’ll only record function prototypes changes.
