<h4 class="subsubsection">23.2.2.33 Python representation of architectures</h4>
|
|
<a name="index-Python-architectures"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p><small>GDB</small> uses architecture specific parameters and artifacts in a
|
|
number of its various computations. An architecture is represented
|
|
by an instance of the <code>gdb.Architecture</code> class.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A <code>gdb.Architecture</code> class has the following methods:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><a name="index-Architecture_002ename"></a>Function: <strong>Architecture.name</strong> <em>()</em></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Return the name (string value) of the architecture.
|
|
</p></dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><a name="index-Architecture_002edisassemble"></a>Function: <strong>Architecture.disassemble</strong> <em>(<var>start_pc</var> <span class="roman">[</span>, <var>end_pc</var> <span class="roman">[</span>, <var>count</var><span class="roman">]]</span>)</em></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Return a list of disassembled instructions starting from the memory
|
|
address <var>start_pc</var>. The optional arguments <var>end_pc</var> and
|
|
<var>count</var> determine the number of instructions in the returned list.
|
|
If both the optional arguments <var>end_pc</var> and <var>count</var> are
|
|
specified, then a list of at most <var>count</var> disassembled instructions
|
|
whose start address falls in the closed memory address interval from
|
|
<var>start_pc</var> to <var>end_pc</var> are returned. If <var>end_pc</var> is not
|
|
specified, but <var>count</var> is specified, then <var>count</var> number of
|
|
instructions starting from the address <var>start_pc</var> are returned. If
|
|
<var>count</var> is not specified but <var>end_pc</var> is specified, then all
|
|
instructions whose start address falls in the closed memory address
|
|
interval from <var>start_pc</var> to <var>end_pc</var> are returned. If neither
|
|
<var>end_pc</var> nor <var>count</var> are specified, then a single instruction at
|
|
<var>start_pc</var> is returned. For all of these cases, each element of the
|
|
returned list is a Python <code>dict</code> with the following string keys:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>addr</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>The value corresponding to this key is a Python long integer capturing
|
|
the memory address of the instruction.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>asm</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>The value corresponding to this key is a string value which represents
|
|
the instruction with assembly language mnemonics. The assembly
|
|
language flavor used is the same as that specified by the current CLI
|
|
variable <code>disassembly-flavor</code>. See <a href="Machine-Code.html#Machine-Code">Machine Code</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>length</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>The value corresponding to this key is the length (integer value) of the
|
|
instruction in bytes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
</dd></dl>
