This document describes some general tips and tricks for effective batch processing. In particular, because Binary Ninja is multi-threaded, some methods for faster processing like [multiprocessing](https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html) can have dangerous consequences. diff --git a/docs/dev/plugins.md b/docs/dev/plugins.md index 46eadb26..8e44da5a 100644 --- a/docs/dev/plugins.md +++ b/docs/dev/plugins.md @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ The [`add_repository`](https://api.binary.ninja/binaryninja.pluginmanager-module ### Testing -It's useful to be able to reload your plugin during testing.
