Parameters

store is document store containing the parsed root tag

Reimplemented in BfdArchitecture, RawBinaryArchitecture, and XmlArchitecture.

◆ saveXml()

void Architecture::saveXml ( ostream & s ) const

virtual

Serialize this architecture to XML.

Write the current state of all types, symbols, functions, etc. an XML stream

Parameters

s	is the output stream

Reimplemented in BfdArchitecture, RawBinaryArchitecture, and XmlArchitecture.

◆ setDefaultModel()

void Architecture::setDefaultModel ( const string & nm )

Set the default PrototypeModel.

The default model is used whenever an explicit model is not known or can't be determined.

Parameters

nm	is the name of the model to set

◆ setPrintLanguage()

void Architecture::setPrintLanguage ( const string & nm )

Establish a particular output language.

The decompiler supports one or more output languages (C, Java). This method does the main work of selecting one of the supported languages. In addition to selecting the main PrintLanguage object, this triggers configuration of the cast strategy and p-code op behaviors.

Parameters

nm	is the name of the language

◆ setPrototype()

void Architecture::setPrototype ( const PrototypePieces & pieces )

Set the prototype for a particular function.

Establish details of the prototype for a given function symbol

Parameters

pieces holds the raw prototype information and the symbol name
