package bap-std

A variable is a symbolic name, that may have different values during program evaluation. A variable may be virtual, in the sense that it doesn't correspond to some physical location, or it can be physical if a variable is a some physical location, e.g., a register. All variables have types that designate a set of values over which a variable ranges.

BIL variables are regular values. Variables can have indices. Usually the index is used to represent the same variable but at different time or space (control flow path). This is particularly useful for representing variables in SSA form.

By default, comparison function takes indices into account. In order to compare two variables regardless their index use same function, or compare with base x.

Printing

A default pretty printer doesn't print zero indices and never prints types.

type t = var

val reify : 'a Bap_core_theory.Theory.var -> t

reify v reifies a core theory variable into the Bil variable.

val ident : t -> Bap_core_theory.Theory.Var.ident

ident v is the identifier of the variable v

val sort : t -> Bap_core_theory.Theory.Value.Sort.Top.t

sort v returns a core theory sort of the variable v.

val create : ?is_virtual:bool -> ?fresh:bool -> string -> typ -> t

create ?register ?fresh name typ creates a variable with a given name and type.

A newly created variable has version equal to 0.

If fresh is true (defaults to false), then a unique salt is mixed to the name of variable, making it unique.

If is_virtual is true (defaults to false), then a variable is virtual, i.e., it doesn't correspond to some physical register or memory location and was added to a program artificially.

val name : t -> string

name var returns a name associated with variable

val typ : t -> typ

typ var returns a type associated with variable

val is_physical : t -> bool

is_physical v is true if v represents a contents of a physical register.

val is_virtual : t -> bool

is_virtual v is true if v is not physical

val with_index : t -> int -> t

with_index v i returns a variable, that is identical to v, but with the index i

val index : t -> int

index v is an index of v

val base : t -> t

base v returns an original variable. Essentially, identical to with_index v 0.

val same : t -> t -> bool

same x y compares variables ignoring indices, i.e., for variables x and y the same x y is true iff equal (base x) (base y)

val str : unit -> t -> string

str () t is formatted output function that matches "%a" conversion format specifier in functions, that prints to string, e.g., sprintf, failwithf, errorf and, surprisingly all Lwt printing function, including Lwt_io.printf and logging (or any other function with type ('a,unit,string,...) formatN`. Example:

Or_error.errorf "type %a is not valid for %a"
    Type.str ty Exp.str exp

val (<>) : t -> t -> bool

val equal : t -> t -> bool

val compare : t -> t -> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t -> t -> t

val max : t -> t -> t

val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int

val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

type info = string * [ `Ver of string ] * string option

name,Ver v,desc information attached to a particular reader or writer.

val version : string

Data representation version. After any change in data representation the version should be increased.

Serializers that are derived from a data representation must have the same version as a version of the data structure, from which it is derived. This kind of serializers can only read and write data of the same version.

Other serializers can actually read and write data independent on its representation version. A serializer, that can't store data of current version simply shouldn't be added to a set of serializers.

It is assumed, that if a reader and a writer has the same name and version, then whatever was written by the writer should be readable by the reader. The round-trip equality is not required, thus it is acceptable if some information is lost.

It is also possible, that a reader and a writer that has the same name are compatible. In that case it is recommended to use semantic versioning.
