To the disassembly listing in the form of anterior comments. This command decompiles the current function and copies the pseudocode The decompiler generates #error directives for failed functions. A decompilation failure will not stop the analysis but the internal errors.This is a handy feature to exclude functions from the output. the library (light blue) functions will not be decompiled.Obviously, for recursive functions some information will be still missing. This order makes sure that when we decompile aįunction, we will have all information about the called functions. Start with the leaf functions and will proceed in the postnumbering order the order of decompilation is determined by the decompiler.When the whole application is decompiled, the following rules apply: Otherwise, the whole application will be decompiled. If there is a selected area in the disassembly view, only the selected functions This command decompiles the selected functions or the whole application. See above the Open pseudocode command for more details.įile, Produce file, Create C file (hotkey Ctrl-F5) The Tab key can be used to toggle pseudocode and disassembly Pressing Tab while staying in the pseudocode window will switch to theĭisassembly window. If there is no pseudocode window, a new window will be created. This command toggles between the disassembly view and pseudocode view. Please check the command descriptions for the details. The user can use the mouse right click or keyboard hotkeys to access the commands. Please note that the decompiler never refreshes pseudocode by itself Pressing F5 while staying in a pseudocode window will refresh its contents. Previously decompiled function, the pseudocode window will be closed.Ĭtrl-Enter or Ctrl-double clicking on a function name will open a new pseudocode Will return to the previously decompiled function. Pressing Enter on a function name will decompile it. If the current item is C statement keyword, an additional The user can also select text and copy it to the clipboard with the Ctrl-C combination. If the current item is a parenthesis, bracket, or a curly brace, If the current item is a union field, an additional If the current item is a local variable, additional The following commands can be used in the pseudocode window: If the decompilation is successful, it opens a new window titled "Pseudocode"Īnd places the generated C text in this window. This command decompiles the current function. View, Open subviews, Pseudocode (hotkey F5) Note: interactive operation is not supported in the text version of IDA.
