Classy!

IDA script for keeping track of RE info related to C++ classes (specifically,
  CodeWarrior PPC) and keeping things consistent throughout the database.

That's what makes IDA better than objdump anyway, right? :p

Started by Treeki: 16th October 2011
Developed using Python 2.6 and IDA 6.1.



Supported so far:
- Save and reset database
- Classes:
   - Create a class using an IDA struct
   - Delete a class
   - Base classes are handled using a struct field named _
   - Struct is automatically created if one is not chosen - if this is used,
     Classy adds the _ field for you
- Virtual Tables:
   - Set a VTable for a class. End is automatically detected
   - If the auto detection fails (pure virtuals, for example) you can
     manually override it
- CTors/DTors:
   - Set a ctor and dtor for a class (TODO: Multiple ctors)
   - Dtors automatically become virtual if a pointer to them is found in the
     vtable, even if the dtor was registered before the vtable was set
- Methods:
   - Register regular and virtual methods
   - Mark virtual calls by highlighting the "lwz r12, ..." line, pressing
     Shift+C and choosing a class
   - Xrefs to each virtual method are shown at the top of the method body
   - Set method arguments including pointers, arrays, refs and consts
   - Arguments are automatically mangled so they are shown in IDA names
   - Shift+V automatically detects whether a method is a new virtual one or
     an override
   - Overrides are shown at the top of the original method body
   - Renames and argument list changes are propagated from original methods
     to overrides (Though not vice versa yet)

That's all for now, I think...




Current Todo:
- Only show classes that fit the criteria in the chooser for Shift+C
- Support PTMFs, too
- Automatically create virtual methods using the vtable.
- Named arguments to methods
- Return types for methods
- Const methods
- Improve vtable end detection heuristics
- Support pure virtuals.
- Handle IDA chooser history/defaults correctly everywhere
- Better keybindings
- Rename class menu item
- Netnodes
- Override dtors
- Sanity check to see if a virtual method might exist in a base class
- Confirm unlinking of methods
- Don't let you create more than one method with the same name
- choose_class differentiation between "no class" and Cancel
- Auto usage of struct if a named one exists
- Remove virtual xrefs

Caveats:
- Multiple inheritance will not be supported in the near future.
- Probably won't work as well with non-CodeWarrior stuff.

Notes:
- When autocreating virtual methods, start with the base class!!
  Otherwise, you might end up defining an override as a virtual
  method. And that would be bad.
