Class DWARFDataTypeImporter

java.lang.Object

ghidra.app.util.bin.format.dwarf4.next.DWARFDataTypeImporter

public class DWARFDataTypeImporter
extends java.lang.Object

Creates Ghidra DataTypes using information from DWARF debug entries. The caller is responsible for writing the resulting temporary DataType instances into the database.

Create a new instance of this class for each DIEAggregate datatype that you wish to convert into a DataType.

Converts the specified DWARF debug entry into a Ghidra DataType (wrapped in a simple holder object to also return associated metadata).

Parameters:

diea - DWARF DIEAggregate to convert into Ghidra DataType.

defaultValue - value to return if the specified DIEA is null or there is a problem with the DWARF debug data.

Returns:

a DWARFDataTypeImporter.DWARFDataType wrapper around the new Ghidra DataType.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

DWARFExpressionException
