2025-07-10[DSC] Performance improvements and clean-up in SymbolTableViewMark Rowe
Avoid copying the vector of symbols where possible. When no filter string is applied we no longer copy the entire vector symbols by having the symbols used for display be indirected via a pointer. It points either to the unfiltered symbols or the filtered symbols. Some unncessary copies have been removed by using `std::move` where appropriate. Filtering has been updated to avoid `std::vector::reserve` / `std::vector::shrink_to_fit` in favor of letting the filtered vector control its own growth and reuse its buffer. This avoids allocating a ~100MB buffer every time we update the filter only to later reallocate and move the contents into a smaller buffer. Instead the buffer grows via `std::vector`'s usual growth algorithm and it is preserved across filter calls to avoid unnecessarily reallocating it, and only shrink the buffer if it has shrunk significantly vs previous iterations.
2025-07-10[DSC] Use BNAllocStringWithLength when copying strings for the APIMark Rowe
We're copying `std::string` objects that know their length. There's no reason to force a call to `strlen`.
2025-07-10[DSC] Fix GetRegionAt / optimize GetRegionContainingMark Rowe
`GetRegionAt` was really providing the semantics of `GetRegionContaining` due to `m_regions` being an `AddressRangeMap` and using transparent comparators to allow `find` to work with any address in the range. `GetRegionAt` is updated to verify that the start address of the region that was found matches the requested address. `GetRegionContaining` is updated to use `AddressRangeMap::find` rather than doing a linear search over all regions.
2025-07-08Parse sections containing Objective-C constantsMark Rowe
This adds support for the `__objc_arrayobj`, `_objc_dictobj`, `__objc_intobj`, `__objc_floatobj`, `__objc_doubleobj` and `__objc_dateobj` sections that contain Objective-C constants. These are emitted by Apple's versions of Clang for `const` literals, amongst other things.
2025-07-07[ObjC] Fix handling of relative method selectors with MSVCMark Rowe
The order that the operands to `+` are evaluated in is unspecified. Clang happens to evaluate them left to right and gives the expected answer. MSVC picks the opposite order and so the value it computes is off by 4. This was resulting in missing method names when arm64 binaries containing Objective-C are analyzed on Windows.

2025-05-30Misc shared cache improvementsMason Reed
- Removed last use of user object creation in objective-c - Fixed function type info being omitted from certain images loaded automatically - Add TODO about undo action in view init. This is not critical, just a non-actionable warning because of a design flaw I will restate this again for anyone in the future, until the undo action system is thread-safe avoid calling it from any thread other than the main thread, it is very easy to deadlock or cause other issues. That goes for basically all user analysis object creation.
2025-05-21[SharedCache] Fix .dylddata sections failing to propagate constantsMason Reed
This occurred because prior to the change made in build `7484` we short-circuited when the pointer pointed to a read only segment, now that we consult the section the sections semantics were incorrect and failed, this fixes the dyld data sections to have correct semantics.

2025-05-06[SharedCache] Add activities to core.function.metaAnalysis rather than a new ↵Mark Rowe
named workflow Activities are registered with a `viewType` predicate to ensure they only run in shared cache views. Adding activities to `core.function.metaAnalysis` lets activities registered by plug-ins run in the shared cache without the plug-ins having to be aware of the shared cache. Work towards #6779.
2025-05-06[SharedCache]"Fix" possible deadlock when loading images from the UIMason Reed
This disables the filter for already added images, there is another check when we go to apply so that it fails early but the real issue is the fact this happened at all. Within the Objective-C processor there is a call to `BeginUndoActions` which calls `ExecuteOnMainThreadAndWait`, while the objective-c processor is holding the lock to the controller. To fix this we really need to make the undo action system not call `ExecuteOnMainThreadAndWait` which is deadlock city, to do that really the only solution is to make the `UndoBuffer` thread-safe and remove the calls to execute undo related stuff on the main thread, this will make it so that when a call to `BeginUndoActions` there is no requirement to wait on pending undo actions as they are all submitted immediately.
2025-05-03[SharedCache] Avoid reading header fields outside of the bounds of the headerDaniel Roethlisberger

2025-04-21[SharedCache] Always load image dependenciesWeiN76LQh
Simple change that means an image's dependencies can be loaded via the DSC triage view whether the primary image has already been loaded or not. Sometimes I've already loaded an image and then later on decide I want to load its dependencies. Currently there is no easy way to do that in the UI.

2025-04-14[SharedCache] Evict file accessors from the global file accessor cache on ↵Mason Reed
file metadata destruction Previously we would just let them continue to exist after view destruction, this is fine assuming we expect the user to be re-opening the same cache over and over, but if a user wants to load a bunch of different caches they might want to evict the old file accessors so that COW pages are known to be evicted, along with other paged in memory.
2025-04-14[SharedCache] Fix overzealous alert about missing shared cache entriesMason Reed
Following the conversation in https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6631 we are going to make the edited alerts warnings and then also fix the warning showing on certain shared caches even when all entries are present.

2025-04-14[SharedCache] Allow project databases to be stored in a separate folderMason Reed
However the primary file will need to be selected each time you open, for that to be resolved we need to use project file UUID's or the cache entry UUID's themselves to traverse all project files
2025-04-14[SharedCache] Improve the gathering of cache entries in view initMason Reed
This commit addresses some of the issues regarding the retrieval of cache entries during view init, we now will try and store information in the database about the given shared cache entries so that we can better alert the user to possible issues during the loading of saved shared cache databases. We also simplified the logic so that the flow for retrieving the primary file cache is easier and users should be prompted when necessary to select the primary cache file if we cannot. More errors will also be shown to provide the users with more information about the shared cache and what issues they might have. For example we will now try and warn the users when they are opening a shared cache with less entries than what the shared cache reports having. We will also warn the users when opening a database if a previous secondary cache file is no longer available. In the future we can also utilize the shared cache UUID's for individual files to do a more aggressive search across directories in a project. This will make the file name lookup stuff potentially unnecessary, at least when opening a database with all file UUID's stored.

The atlas files include section name info on images, its not helpful for us and skipping it altogether will remove an unneeded error related to parsing this other format

2025-04-14[SharedCache] Bubble up errors in `CacheEntry::FromFile` to the userMason Reed
Prior to this we would not have meaningful errors shown to the user when we fail to construct a CacheEntry from a file. Apart of trying to make the opening of shared caches clearer.

2025-04-10[SharedCache] Make the shared cache file lookup more straightforwardMason Reed
We already had separated this part out into the `CacheProcessor` but its more like a builder than anything, so this refactors that out into a `SharedCacheBuilder`. - Separate out the `CacheProcessor` and simplify its implementation - Move more implementation specific stuff to the shared cache view - Prepare for more validation of the shared cache to detect irregular or incomplete shared cache information - Deduplicate a lot of file vs. project file lookup stuff - Stop copying all images when getting the number of images to log - Allow user to select another directory to scan for shared cache files, might make this a warning instead to prevent users from relying on this behavior We will likely follow this commit up soon with better open behavior, maybe open with options can specify a list of cache entry files? Shouldn't be too much effort aside from making the UI modal for that.
