allows the ability to assign colors to global placed and non-placed
variables, pattern, local and calculated pointer variables, template
arguments, function variables and arguments, etc etc etc. It
accomplishes this using the parser and the token sequence generated by
the lexer. It still uses the original colorizing code but the underlying
data holding the pattern has been updated to be easier to use and to
debug. The changes are too numerous to cite here.It is a big but
necessary step to bring the pattern editor to a somewhat useful state.
There may be one commit in the pattern language repo needed to be able
to run this code
This pr updates the pattern language library to include two fixes.
The first fix deal with local variables that are children of a
structure, a union, a bitfield or an array losing their offsets when the
parent's `setOffset()` is called.
The second fix is that local variables of unions were being used as size
contributors of the patterns place with said unions.
Further details may be found in the pattern language pull requests for
the files listed as changed in the PL submodule in this pr.
Following the documentation (which is not being updated for this type)
on using `hex::type::Instruction` fails to produce any patterns
regardless of how you format the string that is passed to capstone to
select architecture and options.
The error is traced back to mishandling the input string so that the
correct parts are not selected properly. Rather than manually selecting
the parts of the input string from the result of find it is much simpler
to use splitString() (which uses find internally) and does all the work
for us with fewer chances for errors.
There are still problems. The resulting string for the formatter doesn't
return the disassembled instruction and prints the variable name with
the @ used to place it. To view the instruction you need to unseal the
pattern and open the child which then shows the instruction. That only
happens after this fix has been applied.
