Detailed Description

An Architecture that uses the decompiler's native SLEIGH translation engine.

Any Architecture derived from this knows how to natively read in:

• a compiled SLEIGH specification (.sla)
• a processor specification file (.pspec), and
• a compiler specification file (.cspec)

Generally a language id (i.e. x86:LE:64:default) is provided, then this object is able to automatically load in configuration and construct the Translate object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SleighArchitecture()

SleighArchitecture::SleighArchitecture	(	const string &	fname,
		const string &	targ,
		ostream *	estream
	)

Construct given executable file.

Prepare this SleighArchitecture for analyzing the given executable image. Full initialization, including creation of the Translate object, still must be performed by calling the init() method.

Parameters

fname	is the filename of the given executable image
targ	is the optional language id or other target information
estream	is a pointer to an output stream for writing error messages

nm	is the given target string

Returns

the size field

virtual void SleighArchitecture::printMessage ( const string &  message ) const

inlinevirtual

Print an error message to console.

Write the given message to whatever the registered error stream is

void SleighArchitecture::restoreXmlHeader

(

const Element *

el

)

Restore from XML basic attributes of an executable.

Write out (as XML) basic attributes of the active executable.

Parameters

s	is the XML output stream

scanForSleighDirectories()

void SleighArchitecture::scanForSleighDirectories ( const string &  rootpath )

static

Scan directories for SLEIGH specification files.

This assumes a standard "Ghidra/Processors/*/data/languages" layout. It scans for all matching directories and prepares for reading .ldefs files.
