Detailed Description

Middle-level search functions.

They all are controlled by Search flags

Functions

THREAD_SAFE bool search_down (int sflag)

Is the SEARCH_DOWN bit set?

idaman int ida_export search (void *ud, place_t *start, const place_t *end, int *startx, const char *str, int sflag)

Search for a text substring (low level function). More...

find_... functions

Parameters

	ea	start ea
	sflag	combination of Search flags
[out]	opnum	filled with operand number whenever relevant

idaman ea_t ida_export find_error (ea_t ea, int sflag, int *opnum=NULL)

Find next error or problem.

idaman ea_t ida_export find_notype (ea_t ea, int sflag, int *opnum=NULL)

idaman ea_t ida_export find_defined (ea_t ea, int sflag)

Find next ea that is the start of an instruction or data.

idaman ea_t ida_export find_suspop (ea_t ea, int sflag, int *opnum=NULL)

Find next suspicious operand.

idaman ea_t ida_export find_data (ea_t ea, int sflag)

Find next data address.

idaman ea_t ida_export find_code (ea_t ea, int sflag)

Find next code address.

idaman ea_t ida_export find_not_func (ea_t ea, int sflag)

Find next code address that does not belong to a function.

idaman ea_t ida_export find_imm (ea_t newEA, int sflag, uval_t srchValue, int *opnum=NULL)

Find next immediate operand with the given value.

idaman ea_t ida_export find_text (ea_t start_ea, int y, int x, const char *ustr, int sflag)

Macros
#define	SEARCH_UP 0x000
	search towards lower addresses

#define	SEARCH_DOWN 0x001
	search towards higher addresses

#define	SEARCH_NEXT 0x002
	useful only for search() and find_binary(). More...

#define	SEARCH_CASE 0x004
	case-sensitive search (case-insensitive otherwise)

#define	SEARCH_REGEX 0x008
	regular expressions in search string (only supported for txt search)

#define	SEARCH_NOBRK 0x010
	don't test for ctrl-break to interrupt the search

#define	SEARCH_NOSHOW 0x020
	don't display the search progress/refresh screen

#define	SEARCH_IDENT 0x080
	search for an identifier (text search). More...

#define	SEARCH_BRK 0x100
	return BADADDR if Ctrl-Break wass pressed during search

Search for a text substring (low level function).

Parameters

	ud	line array parameter
[in,out]	start	pointer to starting place: start->ea: starting address start->lnnum: starting Y coordinate
	end	pointer to ending place: end->ea: ending address end->lnnum: ending Y coordinate
[in,out]	startx	pointer to starting X coordinate
	str	substring to search for.
	sflag	Search flags

Return values

0	substring not found
1	substring found. The matching position is returned in: start->ea: address start->lnnum: Y coordinate *startx: X coordinate
2	search was cancelled by ctrl-break. The farthest searched address is returned in the same manner as in the successful return (1).
3	the input regular expression is bad. The error message was displayed.
