atom_application_resolvers(5) File Formats Manualatom_application_resolvers(5) NAME atom_application_resolvers, ResolveTargetProc, ResolveNamedProc, ReRe- solveProc - Allows an Atom tool's instrumentation routine to resolve procedure names and call targets SYNOPSIS #include <cmplrs/atom.inst.h> void ResolveTargetProc( Inst *, ProcRes * ); void ResolveNamedProc( const char *, ProcRes * ); void ReResolveProc( ProcRes * ); void ResolveObjNamedProc( Obj *, const char *, ProcRes * ); DESCRIPTION Atom's application resolver routines allow an Atom tool's instrumenta- tion routine to find a procedure by name and to find a target procedure for a call site. You can use these routines only from an Atom tool's instrumentation file. See atom(1) for a description of Atom. These routines return a ProcRes structure, the format of which is as follows: typedef struct { Obj * obj; /* Object containing the called procedure */ Proc * proc; /* Called procedure */ const char * name; /* Name of the called procedure */ Inst * inst; /* First instruction of the called procedure */ } ProcRes; If any of the four pieces of information contained in the ProcRes structure is unavailable, the routine sets the corresponding field to NULL. Certain tools can simultaneously build several objects, instrument each one, and then write each out. This has advantages for tools that call ResolveNamedProc or ResolveTargetProc. The ResolveNamedProc routine searches for the named procedure in all of the built objects. If the procedure exists in a built object, it returns that procedure's Proc. If the procedures exists in an unbuilt object, it returns NULL. The Re- solveTargetProc routine returns the Proc called by a jsr or bsr in- struction. It also returns NULL if the called procedure is in an un- built object. ResolveTargetProc Routine Use the ResolveTargetProc routine to resolve the target of a procedure call. Atom raises an error if the instruction identified by Inst is not in the instruction class (IClass) ClassSubroutine. Depending upon the circumstances under which it has been called, Resol- veTargetProc returns the following combinations of information: lw(2.2i) lw(5.2i). _ Return Values When Returned - _ T{ obj, proc, name, inst T} T{ Returned when the called procedure resides in a built object and the procedure has a name. T} T{ obj, proc, inst T} T{ Returned when the called procedure resides in a built object and the procedure does not have a name. T} obj, name T{ Returned when the called procedure resides in an unbuilt object. (Such a procedure always has a name.) When this pair of values is returned, you can sub- sequently resolve the target procedure by building the target object with BuildObj and then calling ReResolveProc. T} name T{ Returned when the called procedure is not visible, but its name is known. T} -- The called procedure cannot be determined. _ ResolveNamedProc Routine Use the ResolveNamedProc routine to return the procedure identified by the specified name string. In the event that more than one procedure has the specified name, ResolveNamedProc uses the following criteria to determine which procedure to return: If an external procedure has the specified name and that procedure is exported to other objects, re- turn it. If an external procedure has the specified name, return it. If more than one external procedure has the name, return one at random. If a static procedure has the specified name, return it. If more than one static procedure has the name, return one at random. Depending upon the circumstances under which it has been called, Resol- veNamedProc returns the following combinations of information: lw(2.2i) lw(5.2i). _ Return Values When Returned - _ T{ obj, proc, name, inst T} T{ Returned when the named procedure resides in a built object. T} obj, name T{ Returned when the named procedure resides in an unbuilt object. When this pair of values is returned, you can subse- quently resolve the named procedure by building the target object with BuildObj and then calling ReResolveProc. T} name Returned when the named procedure does not exist. _ ReResolveProc Routine Use the ReResolveProc routine to complete a procedure resolution if the procedure initially resided in an unbuilt object. If the name in the specified ProcRes structure exists in the object in the specified Pro- cRes structure, ReResolveProc returns the procedure and a pointer to the first instruction in the ProcRes. If either the object or the name are NULL, ReResolveProc does nothing. ResolveObjNamedProc Routine Use the ResolveObjNamedProc routine to look in the specified object for the specified procedure. The routine checks the specified object to see if it was linked symbolically. If so, ResolveObjNamedProc searches for the named procedure in the specified object first. If the procedure is not found, it then searches in all of the built objects. If the proce- dure exists in the specified object or in any other built object, Re- solveObjNamedProc returns that procedure's Proc. Otherwise, it returns NULL. RETURN VALUES These routines return values as described preceding section.
