◆ DR_MEMPROT_PRETEND_WRITE

#define DR_MEMPROT_PRETEND_WRITE   0x10

DR's default cache consistency strategy modifies the page protection of pages containing code, making them read-only. It pretends on application and client queries that the page is writable. On a write fault to such a region by the application or by client-added instrumentation, DR automatically handles the fault and makes the page writable. This requires flushing the code from the code cache, which can only be done safely when in an application context. Thus, a client writing to such a page is only supported when these criteria are met:

  1. The client code must be in an application code cache context. This rules out all event callbacks (including the basic block event) except for the pre and post system call events and the nudge event.
  2. The client must not hold any locks. An exception is a lock marked as an application lock (via dr_mutex_mark_as_app(), dr_rwlock_mark_as_app(), or dr_recurlock_mark_as_app()).
  3. The client code must not rely on returning to a particular point in the code cache, as that point might be flushed and removed during the write fault processing. This rules out a clean call (unless dr_redirect_execution() is used), but does allow something like drwrap_replace_native() which uses a continuation strategy.

A client write fault that does not meet the first two criteria will result in a fatal error report and an abort. It is up to the client to ensure it satisifies the third criterion.

Even when client writes do meet these criteria, for performance it's best for clients to avoid writing to such memory.

◆ DR_MEMPROT_READ

#define DR_MEMPROT_READ   0x01

Read privileges.

◆ DR_MEMPROT_VDSO

#define DR_MEMPROT_VDSO   0x20

In addition to the appropriate DR_MEMPROT_READ and/or DR_MEMPROT_EXEC flags, this flag will be set for the VDSO and VVAR pages on Linux. The VVAR pages may only be identified by DR on kernels that explicitly label the pages in the /proc/self/maps file (kernel 3.15 and above). In some cases, accessing the VVAR pages can cause problems (e.g., https://github.com/DynamoRIO/drmemory/issues/1778).

◆ DR_MEMPROT_WRITE

#define DR_MEMPROT_WRITE   0x02

Write privileges.

◆ DR_SEEK_CUR

#define DR_SEEK_CUR   1

current file position

◆ DR_SEEK_END

#define DR_SEEK_END   2

end of file

◆ DR_SEEK_SET

#define DR_SEEK_SET   0

start of file

◆ DR_TRY_EXCEPT

#define DR_TRY_EXCEPT (   drcontext,
  try_statement,
  except_statement 
)
Value:
do { \
void *try_cxt; \
dr_try_setup(drcontext, &try_cxt); \
if (dr_try_start(try_cxt) == 0) { \
try_statement dr_try_stop(drcontext, try_cxt); \
} else { \
/* roll back first in case except faults or returns */ \
dr_try_stop(drcontext, try_cxt); \
except_statement \
} \
} while (0)
void dr_try_stop(void *drcontext, void *try_cxt)
int dr_try_start(void *buf)

Simple try..except support for executing operations that might fault and recovering if they do. Be careful with this feature as it has some limitations:

  • do not use a return within a try statement (we do not have language support)
  • any automatic variables that you want to use in the except block should be declared volatile
  • no locks should be grabbed in a try statement (because there is no finally support to release them)
  • nesting is supported, but finally statements are not supported

For fault-free reads in isolation, use dr_safe_read() instead. dr_safe_read() out-performs DR_TRY_EXCEPT.

For fault-free writes in isolation, dr_safe_write() can be used, although on Windows it invokes a system call and can be less performant than DR_TRY_EXCEPT.

Typedef Documentation

◆ dr_auxlib_handle_t

typedef void* dr_auxlib_handle_t

A handle to a loaded client auxiliary library. This is a different type than module_handle_t and is not necessarily the base address.

◆ dr_auxlib_routine_ptr_t

typedef void(* dr_auxlib_routine_ptr_t) ()

An exported routine in a loaded client auxiliary library.

◆ dr_export_info_t

Data structure used by dr_get_proc_address_ex() to retrieve information about an exported symbol.

◆ dr_mem_info_t

typedef struct _dr_mem_info_t dr_mem_info_t

Describes a memory region. Used by dr_query_memory_ex().

◆ dr_memory_dump_spec_t

Indicates the type of memory dump for dr_create_memory_dump().

◆ dr_module_import_t

Module import data returned from dr_module_import_iterator_next().

String fields point into the importing module image. Robust clients should use DR_TRY_EXCEPT while inspecting the strings in case the module is partially mapped or the app racily unmaps it. The iterator routines themselves handle faults by stopping the iteration.

Note
ELF does not import directly from other modules.

◆ dr_module_iterator_t

typedef void* dr_module_iterator_t

For dr_module_iterator_* interface

◆ dr_os_version_info_t

Data structure used with dr_get_os_version()

◆ dr_symbol_export_t

Symbol export data returned from dr_symbol_export_iterator_next().

String fields point into the exporting module image. Robust clients should use DR_TRY_EXCEPT while inspecting the strings in case the module is partially mapped or the app racily unmaps it.

On Windows, the address in addr may not be inside the exporting module if it is a forward and has been patched by the loader. In that case, forward will be NULL.

◆ dr_symbol_import_t

Symbol import data returned from dr_symbol_import_iterator_next().

String fields point into the importing module image. Robust clients should use DR_TRY_EXCEPT while inspecting the strings in case the module is partially mapped or the app racily unmaps it.

◆ dr_syscall_result_info_t

Data structure used to obtain or modify the result of an application system call by dr_syscall_get_result_ex() and dr_syscall_set_result_ex().

◆ module_names_t

Holds the names of a module. This structure contains multiple fields corresponding to different sources of a module name. Note that some of these names may not exist for certain modules. It is highly likely, however, that at least one name is available. Use dr_module_preferred_name() on the parent _module_data_t to get the preferred name of the module.

◆ module_segment_data_t

Holds information on a segment of a loaded module.

◆ tracedump_file_header_t

   Binary trace dump format:
   the file starts with a tracedump_file_header_t
   then, for each trace:
     struct _tracedump_trace_header
     if num_bbs > 0 # tracedump_origins
       foreach bb:
           app_pc tag;
           int bb_code_size;
           byte code[bb_code_size];
     endif
     foreach exit:
       struct _tracedump_stub_data
       if linkcount_size > 0 # deprecated
         linkcount_type_t count; # sizeof == linkcount_size
       endif
       if separate from body
       (i.e., exit_stub < cache_start_pc || exit_stub >= cache_start_pc+code_size):
           byte stub_code[15]; # all separate stubs are 15
       endif
     endfor
     byte code[code_size];

◆ tracedump_stub_data_t

The format of a stub in a trace dump file.

◆ tracedump_trace_header_t

Header for an individual trace in a binary trace dump file.

◆ version_number_t

Used to hold .rsrc section version number information. This number is usually presented as p1.p2.p3.p4 by PE parsing tools.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ anonymous enum

anonymous enum
Enumerator
DR_MAP_PRIVATE 

If set, changes to mapped memory are private to the mapping process and are not reflected in the underlying file. If not set, changes are visible to other processes that map the same file, and will be propagated to the file itself.

DR_MAP_FIXED 

If set, indicates that the passed-in start address is required rather than a hint. On Linux, this has the same semantics as mmap with MAP_FIXED: i.e., any existing mapping in [addr,addr+size) will be unmapped. This flag is not supported on Windows.

DR_MAP_IMAGE 

If set, loads the specified file as an executable image, rather than a data file. This flag is not supported on Linux.

DR_MAP_CACHE_REACHABLE 

If set, loads the specified file at a location that is reachable from the code cache and client libraries by a 32-bit displacement. If not set, the mapped file is not guaranteed to be reachable from the cache.

◆ dr_alloc_flags_t

Flags used with dr_custom_alloc()

Enumerator
DR_ALLOC_NON_HEAP 

If this flag is not specified, dr_custom_alloc() uses a managed heap to allocate the memory, just like dr_thread_alloc() or dr_global_alloc(). In that case, it ignores any requested protection bits (prot parameter), and the location (addr parameter) must be NULL. If this flag is specified, a page-aligned, separate block of memory is allocated, in a similar fashion to dr_nonheap_alloc().

DR_ALLOC_THREAD_PRIVATE 

This flag only applies to heap memory (i.e., when DR_ALLOC_NON_HEAP is not specified). If this flag is not specified, global heap is used (just like dr_global_alloc()) and the drcontext parameter is ignored. If it is specified, thread-private heap specific to drcontext is used, just like dr_thread_alloc().

DR_ALLOC_CACHE_REACHABLE 

Allocate memory that is 32-bit-displacement reachable from the code caches and from the client library. Memory allocated through dr_thread_alloc(), dr_global_alloc(), and dr_nonheap_alloc() is also reachable, but for dr_custom_alloc(), the resulting memory is not reachable unless this flag is specified. If this flag is passed, the requested location (addr parameter) must be NULL. This flag is not compatible with DR_ALLOC_LOW_2GB, DR_ALLOC_FIXED_LOCATION, or DR_ALLOC_NON_DR.

DR_ALLOC_FIXED_LOCATION 

This flag only applies to non-heap memory (i.e., when DR_ALLOC_NON_HEAP is specified). The flag requests that memory be allocated at a specific address, given in the addr parameter. Without this flag, the addr parameter is not honored. This flag is not compatible with DR_ALLOC_LOW_2GB or DR_ALLOC_CACHE_REACHABLE.

DR_ALLOC_LOW_2GB 

This flag only applies to non-heap memory (i.e., when DR_ALLOC_NON_HEAP is specified) in 64-bit mode. The flag requests that memory be allocated in the low 2GB of the address space. If this flag is passed, the requested location (addr parameter) must be NULL. This flag is not compatible with DR_ALLOC_FIXED_LOCATION.

DR_ALLOC_NON_DR 

This flag only applies to non-heap memory (i.e., when DR_ALLOC_NON_HEAP is specified). When this flag is specified, the allocated memory is not considered to be DynamoRIO or tool memory and thus is not kept separate from the application. This is similar to dr_raw_mem_alloc(). Use of this memory is at the client's own risk. This flag is not compatible with DR_ALLOC_CACHE_REACHABLE.

DR_ALLOC_RESERVE_ONLY 

This flag only applies to non-heap, non-DR memory (i.e., when both DR_ALLOC_NON_HEAP and DR_ALLOC_NON_DR are specified) on Windows. When this flag is specified, the allocated memory is reserved but not committed, just like the MEM_RESERVE Windows API flag (the default is MEM_RESERVE|MEM_COMMIT).

DR_ALLOC_COMMIT_ONLY 

This flag only applies to non-heap, non-DR memory (i.e., when both DR_ALLOC_NON_HEAP and DR_ALLOC_NON_DR are specified) on Windows. This flag must be combined with DR_ALLOC_FIXED_LOCATION. When this flag is specified, previously allocated memory is committed, just like the MEM_COMMIT Windows API flag (when this flag is not passed, the effect is MEM_RESERVE|MEM_COMMIT). When passed to dr_custom_free(), this flag causes a de-commit, just like the MEM_DECOMMIT Windows API flag. This flag cannot be combined with DR_ALLOC_LOW_2GB and must include a non-NULL requested location (addr parameter).

◆ dr_indirect_branch_type_t

Specifies the type of indirect branch for use with dr_prepopulate_indirect_targets().

Enumerator
DR_INDIRECT_RETURN 

Return instruction type.

DR_INDIRECT_CALL 

Indirect call instruction type.

DR_INDIRECT_JUMP 

Indirect jump instruction type.

◆ dr_map_executable_flags_t

Flags for use with dr_map_executable_file().

Enumerator
DR_MAPEXE_SKIP_WRITABLE 

Requests that writable segments are not mapped, to save address space. This may be ignored on some platforms and may only be honored for a writable segment that is at the very end of the loaded module.

◆ dr_mem_type_t

Flags describing memory used by dr_query_memory_ex().

Enumerator
DR_MEMTYPE_FREE 

No memory is allocated here

DR_MEMTYPE_IMAGE 

An executable file is mapped here

DR_MEMTYPE_DATA 

Some other data is allocated here

DR_MEMTYPE_RESERVED 

Reserved address space with no physical storage

DR_MEMTYPE_ERROR 

Query failed for unspecified reason

DR_MEMTYPE_ERROR_WINKERNEL 

Query failed due to the address being located in Windows kernel space. No further information is available so iteration must stop.

◆ dr_memory_dump_flags_t

Indicates the type of memory dump for dr_create_memory_dump().

Enumerator
DR_MEMORY_DUMP_LDMP 

A "livedump", or "ldmp", DynamoRIO's own custom memory dump format. The ldmp format does not currently support specifying a context for the calling thread, so it will always include the call frames to dr_create_memory_dump(). The ldmp.exe tool can be used to create a dummy process (using the dummy.exe executable) which can then be attached to by the debugger (use a non-invasive attach) in order to view the memory dump contents.

Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_os_version_t

Function Documentation

◆ __wrap_calloc()

void* __wrap_calloc ( size_t  nmemb,
size_t  size 
)

Allocates memory from DR's global memory pool, but mimics the behavior of calloc. Memory must be freed with __wrap_free(). The __wrap routines are intended to be used with ld's -wrap option; see __wrap_malloc() for more information.

Note
Currently Linux only.

◆ __wrap_free()

void __wrap_free ( void *  mem)

Frees memory from DR's global memory pool. Memory must have been allocated with __wrap_malloc(). The __wrap routines are intended to be used with ld's -wrap option; see __wrap_malloc() for more information.

Note
Currently Linux only.

◆ __wrap_malloc()

void* __wrap_malloc ( size_t  size)

Allocates memory from DR's global memory pool, but mimics the behavior of malloc. Memory must be freed with __wrap_free(). The __wrap routines are intended to be used with ld's -wrap option to replace a client's use of malloc, realloc, and free with internal versions that allocate memory from DR's private pool. With -wrap, clients can link to libraries that allocate heap memory without interfering with application allocations.

Note
Currently Linux only.

◆ __wrap_realloc()

void* __wrap_realloc ( void *  mem,
size_t  size 
)

Reallocates memory from DR's global memory pool, but mimics the behavior of realloc. Memory must be freed with __wrap_free(). The __wrap routines are intended to be used with ld's -wrap option; see __wrap_malloc() for more information.

Note
Currently Linux only.

◆ dr_abort()

void dr_abort ( void  )

Aborts the process immediately without any cleanup (i.e., the exit event will not be called).

◆ dr_abort_with_code()

void dr_abort_with_code ( int  exit_code)

Aborts the process immediately without any cleanup (i.e., the exit event will not be called) with the exit code exit_code.

On Linux, only the bottom 8 bits of exit_code will be honored for a normal exit. If bits 9..16 are not all zero, DR will send an unhandled signal of that signal number instead of performing a normal exit.

◆ dr_app_pc_for_decoding()

app_pc dr_app_pc_for_decoding ( app_pc  pc)

Given an application PC, returns a PC that contains the application code corresponding to the original PC. In some circumstances on Windows DR inserts a jump on top of the original code, which the client will not see in the bb and trace hooks due to DR replacing it there with the displaced original application code in order to present the client with an unmodified view of the application code. A client should use this routine when attempting to decode the original application instruction that caused a fault from the translated fault address, as the translated address may actually point in the middle of DR's jump.

Note
Other applications on the system sometimes insert their own hooks, which will not be hidden by DR and will appear to the client as jumps and subsequent displaced code.

◆ dr_app_pc_from_cache_pc()

app_pc dr_app_pc_from_cache_pc ( byte *  cache_pc)

Given a code cache pc, returns the corresponding application pc. This involves translating the state and thus may incur calls to the basic block and trace events (see dr_register_bb_event()). If translation fails, returns NULL. This routine may not be called from a thread exit event.

◆ dr_app_recurlock_lock()

void dr_app_recurlock_lock ( void *  reclock,
dr_mcontext_t mc 
)

Acquires reclock, or increments the ownership count if already owned. Calls to this method which block (i.e. when the lock is already held) are marked safe to suspend AND transfer; in that case the provided mcontext mc will overwrite the current thread's mcontext. mc must have a valid PC and its flags must be DR_MC_ALL.

This routine must be used in clients holding application locks to prevent deadlocks in a way similar to dr_mark_safe_to_suspend(), but this routine is intended to be called by a clean call and may return execution to the provided mcontext rather than returning normally.

If this routine is called from a clean call, callers should not return normally. Instead, dr_redirect_execution() or dr_redirect_native_target() should be called to to prevent a return into a flushed code page.

◆ dr_atomic_add32_return_sum()

int dr_atomic_add32_return_sum ( volatile int *  x,
int  val 
)

Atomically adds *x and val and returns the sum.

◆ dr_bb_exists_at()

bool dr_bb_exists_at ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag 
)

Returns true if a basic block with tag tag exists in the code cache.

◆ dr_client_thread_set_suspendable()

bool dr_client_thread_set_suspendable ( bool  suspendable)

Can only be called from a client thread: returns false if called from a non-client thread.

Controls whether a client thread created with dr_create_client_thread() will be suspended by DR for synchronization operations such as flushing or client requests like dr_suspend_all_other_threads(). A client thread that spends a lot of time holding locks can gain greater performance by not being suspended.

A client thread will be suspended for a thread termination operation, including at process exit, regardless of its suspendable requests.

◆ dr_close_file()

void dr_close_file ( file_t  f)

Closes file f.

◆ dr_convert_handle_to_pid()

process_id_t dr_convert_handle_to_pid ( HANDLE  process_handle)

Converts a process handle to a process id.

Returns
Process id if successful; INVALID_PROCESS_ID on failure.
Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_convert_pid_to_handle()

HANDLE dr_convert_pid_to_handle ( process_id_t  pid)

Converts a process id to a process handle.

Returns
Process handle if successful; INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE on failure.
Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_copy_module_data()

module_data_t* dr_copy_module_data ( const module_data_t data)

Makes a copy of data. Copy must be freed with dr_free_module_data(). Useful for making persistent copies of module_data_t's received as part of image load and unload event callbacks.

◆ dr_create_client_thread()

bool dr_create_client_thread ( void(*)(void *param)  func,
void *  arg 
)

Creates a new thread that is marked as a non-application thread (i.e., DR will let it run natively and not execute its code from the code cache). The thread will terminate automatically simply by returning from func; if running when the application terminates its last thread, the client thread will also terminate when DR shuts the process down.

Init and exit events will not be raised for this thread (instead simply place init and exit code in func).

The new client thread has a drcontext that can be used for thread-private heap allocations. It has a stack of the same size as the DR stack used by application threads.

On Linux, this thread is guaranteed to have its own private itimer if dr_set_itimer() is called from it. However this does mean it will have its own process id.

A client thread should refrain from spending most of its time in calls to other libraries or making blocking or long-running system calls as such actions may incur performance or correctness problems with DR's synchronization engine, which needs to be able to suspend client threads at safe points and cannot determine whether the aforementioned actions are safe for suspension. Calling dr_sleep(), dr_thread_yield(), dr_messagebox(), or using DR's locks are safe. If a client thread spends a lot of time holding locks, consider marking it as un-suspendable by calling dr_client_thread_set_suspendable() for better performance.

Client threads, whether suspendable or not, must never execute from the code cache as the underlying fragments might be removed by another thread.

Client threads are suspended while DR is not executing the application. This includes initialization time: the client thread's func code will not execute until DR starts executing the application.

Note
Thread creation via this routine is not yet fully transparent: on Windows, the thread will show up in the list of application threads if the operating system is queried about threads. The thread will not trigger a DLL_THREAD_ATTACH message. On Linux, the thread will not receive signals meant for the application, and is guaranteed to have a private itimer.

◆ dr_create_dir()

bool dr_create_dir ( const char *  fname)

Creates a new directory. Fails if the directory already exists or if it can't be created. Relative path support on Windows is identical to that described in dr_open_file().

◆ dr_create_memory_dump()

bool dr_create_memory_dump ( dr_memory_dump_spec_t spec)

Requests that DR create a memory dump file of the current process. The type of dump is specified by spec.

Returns
whether successful.
Note
this function is only supported on Windows for now.

◆ dr_custom_alloc()

void* dr_custom_alloc ( void *  drcontext,
dr_alloc_flags_t  flags,
size_t  size,
uint  prot,
void *  addr 
)

Allocates memory with the properties requested by flags.

If addr is non-NULL (only allowed with certain flags), it must be page-aligned.

To make more space available for the code caches when running larger applications, or for clients that use a lot of heap memory that is not directly referenced from the cache, we recommend that dr_custom_alloc() be called to obtain memory that is not guaranteed to be reachable from the code cache (by not passing DR_ALLOC_CACHE_REACHABLE). This frees up space in the reachable region.

Returns NULL on failure.

◆ dr_custom_free()

bool dr_custom_free ( void *  drcontext,
dr_alloc_flags_t  flags,
void *  addr,
size_t  size 
)

Frees memory allocated by dr_custom_alloc(). The same flags and size must be passed here as were passed to dr_custom_alloc().

◆ dr_delay_flush_region()

bool dr_delay_flush_region ( app_pc  start,
size_t  size,
uint  flush_id,
void(*)(int flush_id)  flush_completion_callback 
)

Request a flush of all fragments containing code from the region [start, start + size). The flush will be performed at the next safe point in time (usually before any new code is added to the cache after this routine is called). If flush_completion_callback is non-NULL, it will be called with the flush_id provided to this routine when the flush completes, after which no execution will occur out of the fragments flushed. Returns true if the flush was successfully queued.

Note
dr_flush_region() and dr_unlink_flush_region() can give stronger guarantees on when the flush will occur, but have more restrictions on use.
Use size == 1 to flush fragments containing the instruction at address start. A flush of size == 0 is not allowed.
As currently implemented there may be a performance penalty for requesting a flush_completion_callback; for most performant usage set flush_completion_callback to NULL.

◆ dr_delete_dir()

bool dr_delete_dir ( const char *  fname)

Deletes the given directory. Fails if the directory is not empty. Relative path support on Windows is identical to that described in dr_open_file().

◆ dr_delete_file()

bool dr_delete_file ( const char *  filename)

Deletes the file referred to by filename. Returns true if successful. On both Linux and Windows, if filename refers to a symlink, the symlink will be deleted and not the target of the symlink. On Windows, this will fail to delete any file that was not opened with FILE_SHARE_DELETE and is still open. Relative path support on Windows is identical to that described in dr_open_file().

◆ dr_delete_fragment()

bool dr_delete_fragment ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag 
)

Deletes the fragment with tag tag. This routine is only valid with the -thread_private option; it deletes the fragment in the current thread only. After deletion, the existing fragment is allowed to complete execution. For example, a clean call deleting the currently executing fragment will safely return to the existing code. Subsequent executions will cause DynamoRIO to reconstruct the fragment, and therefore call the appropriate fragment-creation event hook, if registered.

Note
This routine supports deletion for the current thread only. drcontext must be from the current thread and must be the drcontext used to create the instruction list. This routine may not be called from the thread exit event.
Other options of removing the code fragments from code cache include dr_flush_region(), dr_unlink_flush_region(), and dr_delay_flush_region().
Returns
false if the fragment does not exist and true otherwise.

◆ dr_directory_exists()

bool dr_directory_exists ( const char *  fname)

Checks for the existence of a directory. Relative path support on Windows is identical to that described in dr_open_file().

◆ dr_dup_file_handle()

file_t dr_dup_file_handle ( file_t  f)

Returns a new copy of the file handle f. Returns INVALID_FILE on error.

◆ dr_enable_console_printing()

bool dr_enable_console_printing ( void  )

Enables dr_printf() and dr_fprintf() to work with a legacy console window (viz., cmd on Windows 7 or earlier). Loads a private copy of kernel32.dll (if not already loaded) in order to accomplish this. To keep the default DR lean and mean, loading kernel32.dll is not performed by default.

This routine must be called during client initialization (dr_client_main()). If called later, it will fail.

Without calling this routine, dr_printf() and dr_fprintf() will not print anything in a console window on Windows 7 or earlier, nor will they print anything when running a graphical application.

Even after calling this routine, there are significant limitations to console printing support in DR:

  • On Windows versions prior to Vista, and for WOW64 applications on Vista, it does not work from the exit event. Once the application terminates its state with csrss (toward the very end of ExitProcess), no output will show up on the console. We have no good solution here yet as exiting early is not ideal.
  • In the future, with earliest injection (Issue 234), writing to the console may not work from the client init event on Windows 7 and earlier (it will work on Windows 8).

These limitations stem from the complex arrangement of the console window in Windows (prior to Windows 8), where printing to it involves sending a message in an undocumented format to the csrss process, rather than a simple write to a file handle. We recommend using a terminal window such as cygwin's rxvt rather than the cmd window, or alternatively redirecting all output to a file, which will solve all of the above limitations.

Returns whether successful.

Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_event_create()

void* dr_event_create ( void  )

Creates an event object on which threads can wait and be signaled.

◆ dr_event_destroy()

bool dr_event_destroy ( void *  event)

Destroys an event object.

◆ dr_event_reset()

bool dr_event_reset ( void *  event)

Resets event to no longer be in a signaled state.

◆ dr_event_signal()

bool dr_event_signal ( void *  event)

Wakes up at most one thread waiting on event.

◆ dr_event_wait()

bool dr_event_wait ( void *  event)

Suspends the current thread until event is signaled.

◆ dr_exit_process()

void dr_exit_process ( int  exit_code)

Exits the process, first performing a full cleanup that will trigger the exit event (dr_register_exit_event()). The process exit code is set to exit_code.

On Linux, only the bottom 8 bits of exit_code will be honored for a normal exit. If bits 9..16 are not all zero, DR will send an unhandled signal of that signal number instead of performing a normal exit.

Note
Calling this from dr_client_main or from the primary thread's initialization event is not guaranteed to always work, as DR may invoke a thread exit event where a thread init event was never called. We recommend using dr_abort_ex() or waiting for full initialization prior to use of this routine.

◆ dr_file_exists()

bool dr_file_exists ( const char *  fname)

Checks the existence of a file. Relative path support on Windows is identical to that described in dr_open_file().

◆ dr_file_seek()

bool dr_file_seek ( file_t  f,
int64  offset,
int  origin 
)

Sets the current file position for file f to offset bytes from the specified origin, where origin is one of the DR_SEEK_* values. Returns true if successful.

◆ dr_file_size()

bool dr_file_size ( file_t  fd,
OUT uint64 *  size 
)

Determines the size of the file fd. On success, returns the size in size.

Returns
whether successful.

◆ dr_file_tell()

int64 dr_file_tell ( file_t  f)

Returns the current position for the file f in bytes from the start of the file. Returns -1 on an error.

◆ dr_flush_file()

void dr_flush_file ( file_t  f)

Flushes any buffers for file f.

◆ dr_flush_region()

bool dr_flush_region ( app_pc  start,
size_t  size 
)

Flush all fragments containing any code from the region [start, start + size). Once this routine returns no execution will occur out of the fragments flushed. This routine may only be called during a clean call from the cache, from a nudge event handler, or from a pre- or post-system call event handler. It may not be called from any other event callback. No locks can held when calling this routine. If called from a clean call, caller can NOT return to the cache (the fragment that was called out of may have been flushed even if it doesn't apparently overlap the flushed region). Instead the caller must redirect execution via dr_redirect_execution() (or DR_SIGNAL_REDIRECT from a signal callback) after this routine to continue execution. Returns true if successful.

Note
This routine may not be called from any registered event callback other than the nudge event, the pre- or post-system call events, the exception event, or the signal event; clean calls out of the cache may call this routine.
If called from a clean call, caller must continue execution by calling dr_redirect_execution() after this routine, as the fragment containing the callout may have been flushed. The context to use can be obtained via dr_get_mcontext() with the exception of the pc to continue at which must be passed as an argument to the callout (see instr_get_app_pc()) or otherwise determined.
This routine may not be called while any locks are held that could block a thread processing a registered event callback or cache callout.
dr_delay_flush_region() has fewer restrictions on use, but is less synchronous.
Use size == 1 to flush fragments containing the instruction at address start. A flush of size == 0 is not allowed.
As currently implemented, dr_delay_flush_region() with no completion callback routine specified can be substantially more performant.

◆ dr_fprintf()

ssize_t dr_fprintf ( file_t  f,
const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Printing to a file that won't interfere with the application's own printing. It is not buffered, which means that it should not be used for very frequent, small print amounts: for that the client should either do its own buffering or it should use printf from the C library via DR's private loader.

Note
On Windows 7 and earlier, this routine is not able to print to STDOUT or STDERR in the cmd window unless dr_enable_console_printing() is called ahead of time, and even then there are limitations: see dr_enable_console_printing().
This routine supports printing wide characters via the ls or S format specifiers. On Windows, they are assumed to be UTF-16, and are converted to UTF-8. On Linux, they are converted by simply dropping the high-order bytes.
If the data to be printed is large it will be truncated to an internal buffer size. Use dr_snprintf() and dr_write_file() for large output.
On Linux this routine does not check for errors like EINTR. Use dr_write_file() if that is a concern.
When printing floating-point values, the caller's code should use proc_save_fpstate() or be inside a clean call that has requested to preserve the floating-point state. On success, the number of bytes written is returned. On error, -1 is returned.

◆ dr_fragment_app_pc()

app_pc dr_fragment_app_pc ( void *  tag)

Retrieves the application PC of a fragment with tag tag.

◆ dr_fragment_exists_at()

bool dr_fragment_exists_at ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag 
)

Returns whether or not there is a fragment in code cache with tag tag.

◆ dr_fragment_size()

uint dr_fragment_size ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag 
)

Looks up the fragment with tag tag. If not found, returns 0. If found, returns the total size occupied in the cache by the fragment.

◆ dr_free_module_data()

void dr_free_module_data ( module_data_t data)

Frees a module_data_t returned by dr_module_iterator_next(), dr_lookup_module(), dr_lookup_module_by_name(), or dr_copy_module_data().

Note
Should NOT be used with a module_data_t obtained as part of a module load or unload event.

◆ dr_get_app_PEB()

void* dr_get_app_PEB ( void  )

Returns a pointer to the application's Process Environment Block (PEB). DR swaps to a private PEB when running client code, in order to isolate the client and its dependent libraries from the application, so conventional methods of reading the PEB will obtain the private PEB instead of the application PEB.

Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_get_application_name()

const char* dr_get_application_name ( void  )

Returns the image name (without path) of the current application.

◆ dr_get_client_base()

byte* dr_get_client_base ( client_id_t  client_id)

Returns the base address of the client library. client_id is the client ID passed to a client's dr_client_main() function.

◆ dr_get_client_path()

const char* dr_get_client_path ( client_id_t  client_id)

Returns the client library name and path that were originally specified to load the library. If the resulting string is longer than MAXIMUM_PATH it will be truncated. client_id is the client ID passed to a client's dr_client_main() function.

◆ dr_get_current_directory()

bool dr_get_current_directory ( char *  buf,
size_t  bufsz 
)

Returns the current directory for this process in buf. On Windows, reading the current directory is considered unsafe except during initialization, as it is stored in user memory and access is not controlled via any standard synchronization.

◆ dr_get_current_drcontext()

void* dr_get_current_drcontext ( void  )

Returns the DR context of the current thread.

◆ dr_get_dr_segment_base()

void* dr_get_dr_segment_base ( IN reg_id_t  tls_register)

Get DR's thread local storage segment base pointed at by tls_register. It can be used to get the base of the thread-local storage segment used by dr_raw_tls_calloc.

Note
It should not be called on thread exit event, as the thread exit event may be invoked from other threads. See dr_register_thread_exit_event for details.

◆ dr_get_dr_thread_handle()

HANDLE dr_get_dr_thread_handle ( void *  drcontext)

Returns a Windows handle to the thread with drcontext drcontext. This handle is DR's handle to this thread (it is not a separate copy) and as such it should not be closed by the caller; nor should it be used beyond the thread's exit, as DR's handle will be closed at that point.

The handle should have THREAD_ALL_ACCESS privileges.

Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_get_integer_option()

bool dr_get_integer_option ( const char *  option_name,
uint64 *val  OUT 
)

Read the value of an integer DynamoRIO runtime option named option_name into val. This includes boolean options. Options are listed in Fine-Tuning DynamoRIO: Runtime Parameters. DynamoRIO has many other undocumented options which may be queried through this API, but they are not officially supported.

Warning
Always pass a full uint64 for val even if the option is a smaller integer to avoid overwriting nearby data.
Returns
false if no option named option_name exists, and true otherwise.

◆ dr_get_itimer()

uint dr_get_itimer ( int  which)

If an interval timer is already installed in the itimer sharing group that contains the calling thread, returns its frequency. Else returns 0.

Parameters
[in]whichMust be one of ITIMER_REAL, ITIMER_VIRTUAL, or ITIMER_PROF
Note
Linux-only.

◆ dr_get_logfile()

file_t dr_get_logfile ( void *  drcontext)

Returns the log file for the thread with drcontext drcontext. If drcontext is NULL, returns the main log file.

◆ dr_get_main_module()

module_data_t* dr_get_main_module ( void  )

Looks up module data for the main executable.

Note
Returned module_data_t must be freed with dr_free_module_data().

◆ dr_get_microseconds()

uint64 dr_get_microseconds ( void  )

Returns the number of microseconds since Jan 1, 1601 (this is the current UTC time).

Note
This is the Windows standard. UNIX time functions typically count from the Epoch (Jan 1, 1970). The Epoch is 11644473600*1000*1000 microseconds after Jan 1, 1601.

◆ dr_get_milliseconds()

uint64 dr_get_milliseconds ( void  )

Returns the number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1601 (this is the current UTC time).

Note
This is the Windows standard. UNIX time functions typically count from the Epoch (Jan 1, 1970). The Epoch is 11644473600*1000 milliseconds after Jan 1, 1601.

◆ dr_get_option_array()

bool dr_get_option_array ( client_id_t  client_id,
int *argc  OUT,
const char ***argv  OUT 
)

Returns the client-specific option string specified at client registration, parsed into an array of argc separate option tokens stored in argv. This is the same array of arguments passed to the dr_client_main() routine.

◆ dr_get_options()

const char* dr_get_options ( client_id_t  client_id)

Returns the client-specific option string specified at client registration. client_id is the client ID passed to dr_client_main().

Deprecated:
This routine is replaced by dr_client_main()'s arguments and by dr_get_option_array(). The front-end drrun and other utilities now re-quote all tokens, providing simpler option passing without escaping or extra quote layers. This routine, for compatibility, strips those quotes off and returns a flat string without any token-delimiting quotes.

◆ dr_get_os_version()

bool dr_get_os_version ( dr_os_version_info_t info)

Returns information about the version of the operating system. Returns whether successful.

Note
Windows only.
The Windows API routine GetVersionEx may hide distinctions between versions, such as between Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. DR reports the true low-level version.

◆ dr_get_parent_id()

process_id_t dr_get_parent_id ( void  )

Returns the process id of the parent of the current process.

Note
Linux only.

◆ dr_get_proc_address()

generic_func_t dr_get_proc_address ( module_handle_t  lib,
const char *  name 
)

Returns the entry point of the exported function with the given name in the module with the given base. Returns NULL on failure.

On Linux, when we say "exported" we mean present in the dynamic symbol table (.dynsym). Global functions and variables in an executable (as opposed to a library) are not exported by default. If an executable is built with the -rdynamic flag to gcc, its global symbols will be present in .dynsym and dr_get_proc_address() will locate them. Otherwise, the drsyms Extension (see Symbol Access Library) must be used to locate the symbols. drsyms searches the debug symbol table (.symtab) in addition to .dynsym.

Note
On Linux this ignores symbol preemption by other modules and only examines the specified module.
On Linux, in order to handle indirect code objects, use dr_get_proc_address_ex().

◆ dr_get_proc_address_ex()

bool dr_get_proc_address_ex ( module_handle_t  lib,
const char *  name,
dr_export_info_t *info  OUT,
size_t  info_len 
)

Returns information in info about the symbol name exported by the module lib. Returns false if the symbol is not found. See the information in dr_get_proc_address() about what an "exported" function is on Linux.

Note
On Linux this ignores symbol preemption by other modules and only examines the specified module.

◆ dr_get_process_id()

process_id_t dr_get_process_id ( void  )

Returns the process id of the current process.

◆ dr_get_random_seed()

uint dr_get_random_seed ( void  )

Returns the seed used for dr_get_random_value().

◆ dr_get_random_value()

uint dr_get_random_value ( uint  max)

Returns a pseudo-random number in the range [0..max). The pseudo-random sequence can be repeated by passing the seed used during a run to the next run via the -prng_seed runtime option.

◆ dr_get_stats()

bool dr_get_stats ( dr_stats_t drstats)

Get the number of blocks built so far, globally. The API is not thread-safe. The caller is expected to pass a pointer to a valid, initialized dr_stats_t value, with the size field set (see dr_stats_t). Returns false if stats are not enabled.

◆ dr_get_stderr_file()

file_t dr_get_stderr_file ( void  )

Returns a handle to stderr.

◆ dr_get_stdin_file()

file_t dr_get_stdin_file ( void  )

Returns a handle to stdin.

◆ dr_get_stdout_file()

file_t dr_get_stdout_file ( void  )

Returns a handle to stdout.

◆ dr_get_string_option()

bool dr_get_string_option ( const char *  option_name,
char *buf  OUT,
size_t  len 
)

Read the value of a string DynamoRIO runtime option named option_name into buf. Options are listed in Fine-Tuning DynamoRIO: Runtime Parameters. DynamoRIO has many other undocumented options which may be queried through this API, but they are not officially supported. The option value is truncated to len bytes and null-terminated.

Returns
false if no option named option_name exists, and true otherwise.

◆ dr_get_thread_id()

thread_id_t dr_get_thread_id ( void *  drcontext)

Returns the thread id of the thread with drcontext drcontext.

◆ dr_get_time()

void dr_get_time ( dr_time_t time)

Retrieves the current time.

◆ dr_get_tls_field()

void* dr_get_tls_field ( void *  drcontext)

Returns the user-controlled thread-local-storage field. To generate an instruction sequence that reads the drcontext field inline in the code cache, use dr_insert_read_tls_field().

◆ dr_get_token()

const char* dr_get_token ( const char *  str,
char *  buf,
size_t  buflen 
)

Utility function that aids in tokenizing a string, such as a client options string from dr_get_options(). The function scans str until a non-whitespace character is found. It then starts copying into buf until a whitespace character is found denoting the end of the token. If the token begins with a quote, the token continues (including across whitespace) until the matching end quote is found. Characters considered whitespace are ' ', '\t', '\r', and '\n'; characters considered quotes are '\'', '\"', and '`'.

Parameters
[in]strThe start of the string containing the next token.
[out]bufA buffer to store a null-terminated copy of the next token.
[in]buflenThe capacity of the buffer, in characters. If the token is too large to fit, it will be truncated and null-terminated.
Returns
a pointer to the end of the token in str. Thus, to retrieve the subsequent token, call this routine again with the prior return value as the new value of str. Returns NULL when the end of str is reached.

◆ dr_global_alloc()

void* dr_global_alloc ( size_t  size)

Allocates size bytes of memory from DR's global memory pool.

◆ dr_global_free()

void dr_global_free ( void *  mem,
size_t  size 
)

Frees memory allocated by dr_global_alloc(). size must be the same as that passed to dr_global_alloc().

◆ dr_insert_read_raw_tls()

void dr_insert_read_raw_tls ( void *  drcontext,
instrlist_t *  ilist,
instr_t where,
reg_id_t  tls_register,
uint  tls_offs,
reg_id_t  reg 
)

Inserts into ilist prior to "where" instruction(s) to read into the general-purpose full-size register reg from the raw TLS slot with offset tls_offs from the TLS base tls_register.

◆ dr_insert_write_raw_tls()

void dr_insert_write_raw_tls ( void *  drcontext,
instrlist_t *  ilist,
instr_t where,
reg_id_t  tls_register,
uint  tls_offs,
reg_id_t  reg 
)

Inserts into ilist prior to "where" instruction(s) to store the value in the general-purpose full-size register reg into the raw TLS slot with offset tls_offs from the TLS base tls_register.

◆ dr_is_notify_on()

bool dr_is_notify_on ( void  )

Returns true iff the -stderr_mask runtime option is non-zero, indicating that the user wants notification messages printed to stderr.

◆ dr_is_thread_native()

bool dr_is_thread_native ( void *  drcontext)

Returns whether the thread represented by drcontext is currently executing natively (typically due to an earlier DR_EMIT_GO_NATIVE return value).

◆ dr_is_tracking_where_am_i()

bool dr_is_tracking_where_am_i ( void  )

Returns whether DR is using accurate tracking of the dr_where_am_i value. Typically this is enabled by calling dr_track_where_am_i().

◆ dr_is_wow64()

bool dr_is_wow64 ( void  )

Returns true if this process is a 32-bit process operating on a 64-bit Windows kernel, known as Windows-On-Windows-64, or WOW64. Returns false otherwise.

Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_load_aux_library()

dr_auxlib_handle_t dr_load_aux_library ( const char *  name,
byte **  lib_start,
byte **  lib_end 
)

Loads the library with the given path as an auxiliary client library. The library is not treated as an application module but as an extension of DR. The library will be included in dr_memory_is_in_client() and any faults in the library will be considered client faults. The bounds of the loaded library are returned in the optional out variables. On failure, returns NULL.

If only a filename and not a full path is given, this routine will search for the library in the standard search locations for DR's private loader.

◆ dr_log()

void dr_log ( void *  drcontext,
uint  mask,
uint  level,
const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Writes to DR's log file for the thread with drcontext drcontext if the current loglevel is >= level and the current logmask & mask != 0. The mask constants are the DR_LOG_* defines below. Logging is disabled for the release build. If drcontext is NULL, writes to the main log file.

◆ dr_lookup_aux_library_routine()

dr_auxlib_routine_ptr_t dr_lookup_aux_library_routine ( dr_auxlib_handle_t  lib,
const char *  name 
)

Looks up the exported routine with the given name in the given client auxiliary library loaded by dr_load_aux_library(). Returns NULL on failure.

◆ dr_lookup_module()

module_data_t* dr_lookup_module ( byte *  pc)

Looks up the module containing pc. If a module containing pc is found returns a module_data_t describing that module. Returns NULL if pc is outside all known modules, which is the case for most dynamically generated code. Can be used to obtain a module_handle_t for dr_lookup_module_section() or dr_get_proc_address() via the handle field inside module_data_t.

Note
Returned module_data_t must be freed with dr_free_module_data().

◆ dr_lookup_module_by_name()

module_data_t* dr_lookup_module_by_name ( const char *  name)

Looks up the module with name name ignoring case. If an exact name match is found returns a module_data_t describing that module else returns NULL. User must call dr_free_module_data() on the returned module_data_t once finished. Can be used to obtain a module_handle_t for dr_get_proc_address().

Note
Returned module_data_t must be freed with dr_free_module_data().

◆ dr_lookup_module_section()

bool dr_lookup_module_section ( module_handle_t  lib,
byte *  pc,
IMAGE_SECTION_HEADER *  section_out 
)

Returns whether pc is within a section within the module in section_found and information about that section in section_out.

Note
Not yet available on Linux.

◆ dr_map_executable_file()

byte* dr_map_executable_file ( const char *  filename,
dr_map_executable_flags_t  flags,
size_t *size  OUT 
)

Loads filename as an executable file for examination, rather than for execution. No entry point, initialization, or constructor code is executed, nor is any thread-local storage or other resources set up. Returns the size (which may include unmappped gaps) in size. The return value of the function is the base address at which the file is mapped.

Note
Not currently supported on Mac OSX.

◆ dr_map_file()

void* dr_map_file ( file_t  f,
INOUT size_t *  size,
uint64  offs,
app_pc  addr,
uint  prot,
uint  flags 
)

Memory-maps size bytes starting at offset offs from the file f at address addr with privileges prot.

Parameters
[in]fThe file to map.
[in,out]sizeThe requested size to map. Upon successful return, contains the actual mapped size.
[in]offsThe offset within the file at which to start the map.
[in]addrThe requested start address of the map. Unless fixed is true, this is just a hint and may not be honored.
[in]protThe access privileges of the mapping, composed of the DR_MEMPROT_READ, DR_MEMPROT_WRITE, and DR_MEMPROT_EXEC bits.
[in]flagsOptional DR_MAP_* flags.
Note
Mapping image files for execution is not supported.
Returns
the start address of the mapping, or NULL if unsuccessful.

◆ dr_mark_safe_to_suspend()

bool dr_mark_safe_to_suspend ( void *  drcontext,
bool  enter 
)

Use this function to mark a region of code as safe for DR to suspend the client while inside the region. DR will not relocate the client from the region and will resume it at precisely the suspend point.

This function must be used in client code that acquires application locks. Use this feature with care! Do not mark code as safe to suspend that has a code cache return point. I.e., do not call this routine from a clean call. For acquiring application locks from a clean call, see dr_app_recurlock_lock().

No DR locks can be held while in a safe region. Consequently, do not call this routine from any DR event callback. It may only be used from natively executing code.

Always invoke this routine in pairs, with the first passing true for enter and the second passing false, thus delimiting the region.

◆ dr_mark_trace_head()

bool dr_mark_trace_head ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag 
)

Marks the fragment associated with tag tag as a trace head. The fragment need not exist yet – once it is created it will be marked as a trace head.

DR associates a counter with a trace head and once it passes the -hot_threshold parameter, DR begins building a trace. Before each fragment is added to the trace, DR calls the client's end_trace callback to determine whether to end the trace. (The callback will be called both for standard DR traces and for client-defined traces.)

Note
Some fragments are unsuitable for trace heads. DR will ignore attempts to mark such fragments as trace heads and will return false. If the client marks a fragment that doesn't exist yet as a trace head and DR later determines that the fragment is unsuitable for a trace head it will unmark the fragment as a trace head without notifying the client.
Some fragments' notion of trace heads is dependent on which previous block targets them. For these fragments, calling this routine will only mark as a trace head for targets from the same memory region.

Returns true if the target fragment is marked as a trace head.

◆ dr_memory_is_dr_internal()

bool dr_memory_is_dr_internal ( const byte *  pc)

Returns true iff pc is memory allocated by DR for its own purposes, and would not exist if the application were run natively.

◆ dr_memory_is_in_client()

bool dr_memory_is_in_client ( const byte *  pc)

Returns true iff pc is located inside a client library, an Extension library used by a client, or an auxiliary client library (see dr_load_aux_library()).

◆ dr_memory_is_readable()

bool dr_memory_is_readable ( const byte *  pc,
size_t  size 
)

Checks to see that all bytes with addresses in the range [pc, pc + size - 1] are readable and that reading from that range won't generate an exception (see also dr_safe_read() and DR_TRY_EXCEPT()).

Note
Nothing guarantees that the memory will stay readable for any length of time.
On Linux, especially if the app is in the middle of loading a library and has not properly set up the .bss yet, a page that seems readable can still generate SIGBUS if beyond the end of an mmapped file. Use dr_safe_read() or DR_TRY_EXCEPT() to avoid such problems.

◆ dr_memory_protect()

bool dr_memory_protect ( void *  base,
size_t  size,
uint  new_prot 
)

Modifies the memory protections of the region from start through start + size. Modification of memory allocated by DR or of the DR or client libraries themselves is allowed under the assumption that the client knows what it is doing. Modification of the ntdll.dll library on Windows is not allowed. Returns true if successful.

◆ dr_messagebox()

void dr_messagebox ( const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Displays a message in a pop-up window.

Note
Windows only.
On Windows Vista most Windows services are unable to display message boxes.

◆ dr_module_contains_addr()

bool dr_module_contains_addr ( const module_data_t data,
app_pc  addr 
)

Returns whether addr is contained inside any segment of the module data. We recommend using this routine rather than checking against the start and end fields of data, as modules are not always contiguous.

◆ dr_module_import_iterator_hasnext()

bool dr_module_import_iterator_hasnext ( dr_module_import_iterator_t *  iter)

Returns true if there is another module import in the iterator.

Note
ELF does not import directly from other modules.

◆ dr_module_import_iterator_next()

dr_module_import_t* dr_module_import_iterator_next ( dr_module_import_iterator_t *  iter)

Advances the passed-in iterator and returns the current module import in the iterator. The pointer returned is only valid until the next call to dr_module_import_iterator_next() or dr_module_import_iterator_stop().

Note
ELF does not import directly from other modules.

◆ dr_module_import_iterator_start()

dr_module_import_iterator_t* dr_module_import_iterator_start ( module_handle_t  handle)

Creates a module import iterator. Iterates over the list of modules that a given module imports from.

Note
ELF does not import directly from other modules.

◆ dr_module_import_iterator_stop()

void dr_module_import_iterator_stop ( dr_module_import_iterator_t *  iter)

Stops import iteration and frees a module import iterator.

Note
ELF does not import directly from other modules.

◆ dr_module_iterator_hasnext()

bool dr_module_iterator_hasnext ( dr_module_iterator_t mi)

Returns true if there is another loaded module in the iterator.

◆ dr_module_iterator_next()

module_data_t* dr_module_iterator_next ( dr_module_iterator_t mi)

Retrieves the module_data_t for the next loaded module in the iterator. User must call dr_free_module_data() on the returned module_data_t once finished.

Note
Returned module_data_t must be freed with dr_free_module_data().

◆ dr_module_iterator_start()

dr_module_iterator_t* dr_module_iterator_start ( void  )

Initialize a new module iterator. The returned module iterator contains a snapshot of the modules loaded at the time it was created. Use dr_module_iterator_hasnext() and dr_module_iterator_next() to walk the loaded modules. Call dr_module_iterator_stop() when finished to release the iterator.

Note
The iterator does not prevent modules from being loaded or unloaded while the iterator is being walked.

◆ dr_module_iterator_stop()

void dr_module_iterator_stop ( dr_module_iterator_t mi)

User should call this routine to free the module iterator.

◆ dr_module_preferred_name()

const char* dr_module_preferred_name ( const module_data_t data)

Returns the preferred name for the module described by data from data->module_names.

◆ dr_module_set_should_instrument()

bool dr_module_set_should_instrument ( module_handle_t  handle,
bool  should_instrument 
)

Set whether or not the module referred to by handle should be instrumented. If should_instrument is false, code from the module will not be passed to the basic block event. If traces are enabled, code from the module will still reach the trace event. Must be called from the module load event for the module referred to by handle.

Returns
whether successful.
Warning
Turning off instrumentation for modules breaks clients and extensions, such as drwrap, that expect to see every instruction.

◆ dr_module_should_instrument()

bool dr_module_should_instrument ( module_handle_t  handle)

Return whether code from the module should be instrumented, meaning passed to the basic block event.

◆ dr_mutex_create()

void* dr_mutex_create ( void  )

Initializes a mutex.

Warning: there are restrictions on when DR-provided mutexes, and locks in general, can be held by a client: no lock should be held while application code is executing in the code cache. Locks can be used while inside client code reached from clean calls out of the code cache, but they must be released before returning to the cache. Failing to follow these restrictions can lead to deadlocks.

◆ dr_mutex_destroy()

void dr_mutex_destroy ( void *  mutex)

Deletes mutex.

◆ dr_mutex_lock()

void dr_mutex_lock ( void *  mutex)

Locks mutex. Waits until the mutex is successfully held.

◆ dr_mutex_mark_as_app()

bool dr_mutex_mark_as_app ( void *  mutex)

Instructs DR to treat this lock as an application lock. Primarily this avoids debug-build checks that no DR locks are held in situations where locks are disallowed.

Warning
Any one lock should either be a DR lock or an application lock. Use this routine with caution and do not call it on a DR lock that is used in DR contexts, as it disables debug checks.
This routine is not sufficient on its own to prevent deadlocks during scenarios where DR wants to suspend all threads such as detach or relocation. See dr_app_recurlock_lock() and dr_mark_safe_to_suspend().
Returns
whether successful.

◆ dr_mutex_self_owns()

bool dr_mutex_self_owns ( void *  mutex)

Returns true iff mutex is owned by the calling thread. This routine is only available in debug builds. In release builds it always returns true.

◆ dr_mutex_trylock()

bool dr_mutex_trylock ( void *  mutex)

Tries once to lock mutex, returns whether or not successful.

◆ dr_mutex_unlock()

void dr_mutex_unlock ( void *  mutex)

Unlocks mutex. Asserts that mutex is currently locked.

◆ dr_nonheap_alloc()

void* dr_nonheap_alloc ( size_t  size,
uint  prot 
)

Allocates size bytes of memory as a separate allocation from DR's heap, allowing for separate protection. The prot protection should use the DR_MEMPROT_READ, DR_MEMPROT_WRITE, and DR_MEMPROT_EXEC bits. When creating a region to hold dynamically generated code, use this routine in order to create executable memory.

◆ dr_nonheap_free()

void dr_nonheap_free ( void *  mem,
size_t  size 
)

Frees memory allocated by dr_nonheap_alloc(). size must be the same as that passed to dr_nonheap_alloc().

◆ dr_open_file()

file_t dr_open_file ( const char *  fname,
uint  mode_flags 
)

Opens the file fname. If no such file exists then one is created. The file access mode is set by the mode_flags argument which is drawn from the DR_FILE_* defines ORed together. Returns INVALID_FILE if unsuccessful.

On Windows, fname is safest as an absolute path (when using Windows system calls directly there is no such thing as a relative path). A relative path passed to this routine will be converted to absolute on a best-effort basis using the current directory that was set at process initialization time. (The most recently set current directory can be retrieved (albeit with no safety guarantees) with dr_get_current_directory().) Drive-implied-absolute paths ("\foo.txt") and other-drive-relative paths ("c:foo.txt") are not supported.

On Linux, the file descriptor will be marked as close-on-exec. The DR_FILE_CLOSE_ON_FORK flag can be used to automatically close a file on a fork.

Note
No more then one write mode flag can be specified.
On Linux, DR hides files opened by clients from the application by using file descriptors that are separate from the application's and preventing the application from closing client-opened files.

◆ dr_page_size()

size_t dr_page_size ( void  )

Returns the size of a page of memory.

◆ dr_prepopulate_cache()

bool dr_prepopulate_cache ( app_pc *  tags,
size_t  tags_count 
)

Intended to be called between dr_app_setup() and dr_app_start() to pre-create code cache fragments for each basic block address in the tags array. This speeds up the subsequent attach when dr_app_start() is called. If any code in the passed-in tags array is not readable, it is up to the caller to handle any fault, as DR's own signal handlers are not enabled at this point. Returns whether successful.

◆ dr_prepopulate_indirect_targets()

bool dr_prepopulate_indirect_targets ( dr_indirect_branch_type_t  branch_type,
app_pc *  tags,
size_t  tags_count 
)

Intended to augment dr_prepopulate_cache() by populating DR's indirect branch tables, avoiding trips back to dispatch during initial execution. This is only effective when one of the the runtime options -shared_trace_ibt_tables and -shared_bb_ibt_tables (depending on whether traces are enabled) is turned on, as this routine does not try to populate tables belonging to threads other than the calling thread.

This is meant to be called between dr_app_setup() and dr_app_start(), immediately after calling dr_prepopulate_cache(). It adds entries for each target address in the tags array to the indirect branch table for the branch type branch_type.

Returns whether successful.

◆ dr_print_instr()

void dr_print_instr ( void *  drcontext,
file_t  f,
instr_t instr,
const char *  msg 
)

Prints msg followed by the instruction instr to file f.

◆ dr_print_opnd()

void dr_print_opnd ( void *  drcontext,
file_t  f,
opnd_t  opnd,
const char *  msg 
)

Prints msg followed by the operand opnd to file f.

◆ dr_printf()

void dr_printf ( const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Stdout printing that won't interfere with the application's own printing. It is not buffered, which means that it should not be used for very frequent, small print amounts: for that the client should either do its own buffering or it should use printf from the C library via DR's private loader.

Note
On Windows 7 and earlier, this routine is not able to print to the cmd window unless dr_enable_console_printing() is called ahead of time, and even then there are limitations: see dr_enable_console_printing().
This routine supports printing wide characters via the ls or S format specifiers. On Windows, they are assumed to be UTF-16, and are converted to UTF-8. On Linux, they are converted by simply dropping the high-order bytes.
If the data to be printed is large it will be truncated to an internal buffer size. Use dr_snprintf() and dr_write_file() for large output.
When printing floating-point values, the caller's code should use proc_save_fpstate() or be inside a clean call that has requested to preserve the floating-point state.

◆ dr_query_memory()

bool dr_query_memory ( const byte *  pc,
byte **  base_pc,
size_t *  size,
uint *  prot 
)

An os neutral method for querying a memory address. Returns true iff a memory region containing pc is found. If found additional information about the memory region is returned in the optional out arguments base_pc, size, and prot where base_pc is the start address of the memory region continaing pc, size is the size of said memory region and prot is an ORed combination of DR_MEMPROT_* flags describing its current protection.

Note
To examine only application memory, skip memory for which dr_memory_is_dr_internal() or dr_memory_is_in_client() returns true.
DR may mark writable code pages as read-only but pretend they're writable. When this happens, it will include both DR_MEMPROT_WRITE and DR_MEMPROT_PRETEND_WRITE in prot.

◆ dr_query_memory_ex()

bool dr_query_memory_ex ( const byte *  pc,
OUT dr_mem_info_t info 
)

Provides additional information beyond dr_query_memory(). Returns true if it was able to obtain information (including about free regions) and sets the fields of info. This routine can be used to iterate over the entire address space. Such an iteration should stop on reaching the top of the address space, or on reaching kernel memory (look for DR_MEMTYPE_ERROR_WINKERNEL) on Windows.

Returns false on failure and sets info->type to a DR_MEMTYPE_ERROR* code indicating the reason for failure.

Note
To examine only application memory, skip memory for which dr_memory_is_dr_internal() returns true.
DR may mark writable code pages as read-only but pretend they're writable. When this happens, it will include both DR_MEMPROT_WRITE and DR_MEMPROT_PRETEND_WRITE in info->prot.

◆ dr_raw_brk()

void* dr_raw_brk ( void *  new_address)

Sets the program break to the specified value. Invokes the SYS_brk system call and returns the result. This is the application's program break, so use this system call only when deliberately changing the application's behavior.

Note
Linux-only.

◆ dr_raw_mem_alloc()

void* dr_raw_mem_alloc ( size_t  size,
uint  prot,
void *  addr 
)
Warning
This raw memory allocation interface is in flux and is subject to change in the next release. Consider it experimental in this release.

Allocates size bytes (page size aligned) of memory as a separate allocation at preferred base addr that must be page size aligned, allowing for separate protection. If addr is NULL, an arbitrary address is picked.

The prot protection should use the DR_MEMPROT_READ, DR_MEMPROT_WRITE, and DR_MEMPROT_EXEC bits. The allocated memory is not considered to be DynamoRIO or tool memory and thus is not kept separate from the application. Use of this memory is at the client's own risk.

The resulting memory is guaranteed to be initialized to all zeroes.

Returns the actual address allocated or NULL if memory allocation at preferred base fails.

◆ dr_raw_mem_free()

bool dr_raw_mem_free ( void *  addr,
size_t  size 
)

Frees memory allocated by dr_raw_mem_alloc(). addr and size must be the same as that passed to dr_raw_mem_alloc() on Windows.

◆ dr_raw_mremap()

void* dr_raw_mremap ( void *  old_address,
size_t  old_size,
size_t  new_size,
int  flags,
void *  new_address 
)

Calls mremap with the specified parameters and returns the result. The old memory must be non-DR memory, and the new memory is also considered to be non-DR memory (see DR_ALLOC_NON_DR).

Note
Linux-only.

◆ dr_raw_tls_calloc()

bool dr_raw_tls_calloc ( OUT reg_id_t tls_register,
OUT uint *  offset,
IN uint  num_slots,
IN uint  alignment 
)

Allocates num_slots contiguous thread-local storage (TLS) slots that can be directly accessed via an offset from tls_register. If alignment is non-zero, the slots will be aligned to alignment. These slots will be initialized to 0 for each new thread. The slot offsets are [offset .. offset + (num_slots - 1)]. These slots are disjoint from the dr_spill_slot_t register spill slots and the client tls field (dr_get_tls_field()). Returns whether or not the slots were successfully obtained. The linear address of the TLS base pointed at by tls_register can be obtained using dr_get_dr_segment_base. Raw TLs slots can be read directly using dr_insert_read_raw_tls() and written using dr_insert_write_raw_tls().

Supports passing 0 for num_slots, in which case tls_register will be written but no other action taken.

Note
These slots are useful for thread-shared code caches. With thread-private caches, DR's memory pools are guaranteed to be reachable via absolute or rip-relative accesses from the code cache and client libraries.
These slots are a limited resource. On Windows the slots are shared with the application and reserving even one slot can result in failure to initialize for certain applications. On Linux they are more plentiful and transparent but currently DR limits clients to no more than 64 slots.

◆ dr_raw_tls_cfree()

bool dr_raw_tls_cfree ( uint  offset,
uint  num_slots 
)

Frees num_slots raw thread-local storage slots starting at offset offset that were allocated with dr_raw_tls_calloc(). Returns whether or not the slots were successfully freed.

◆ dr_raw_tls_opnd()

opnd_t dr_raw_tls_opnd ( void *  drcontext,
reg_id_t  tls_register,
uint  tls_offs 
)

Returns an operand that refers to the raw TLS slot with offset tls_offs from the TLS base tls_register.

◆ dr_read_file()

ssize_t dr_read_file ( file_t  f,
void *  buf,
size_t  count 
)

Reads up to count bytes from file f into buf. Returns the actual number read.

◆ dr_recurlock_create()

void* dr_recurlock_create ( void  )

Creates and initializes a recursive lock. A recursive lock allows the same thread to acquire it multiple times. The lock restrictions for mutexes apply (see dr_mutex_create()).

◆ dr_recurlock_destroy()

void dr_recurlock_destroy ( void *  reclock)

Deletes reclock.

◆ dr_recurlock_lock()

void dr_recurlock_lock ( void *  reclock)

Acquires reclock, or increments the ownership count if already owned.

◆ dr_recurlock_mark_as_app()

bool dr_recurlock_mark_as_app ( void *  reclock)

Instructs DR to treat this lock as an application lock. Primarily this avoids debug-build checks that no DR locks are held in situations where locks are disallowed.

Warning
Any one lock should either be a DR lock or an application lock. Use this routine with caution and do not call it on a DR lock that is used in DR contexts, as it disables debug checks.
Returns
whether successful.

◆ dr_recurlock_self_owns()

bool dr_recurlock_self_owns ( void *  reclock)

Returns whether the calling thread owns reclock.

◆ dr_recurlock_trylock()

bool dr_recurlock_trylock ( void *  reclock)

Tries once to acquire reclock and returns whether successful.

◆ dr_recurlock_unlock()

void dr_recurlock_unlock ( void *  reclock)

Decrements the ownership count of reclock and releases if zero.

◆ dr_rename_file()

bool dr_rename_file ( const char *  src,
const char *  dst,
bool  replace 
)

Renames the file src to dst, replacing an existing file named dst if replace is true. Atomic if src and dst are on the same filesystem. Returns true if successful.

◆ dr_replace_fragment()

bool dr_replace_fragment ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag,
instrlist_t *  ilist 
)

Replaces the fragment with tag tag with the instructions in ilist. This routine is only valid with the -thread_private option; it replaces the fragment for the current thread only. After replacement, the existing fragment is allowed to complete if currently executing. For example, a clean call replacing the currently executing fragment will safely return to the existing code. Subsequent executions will use the new instructions.

Note
The routine takes control of ilist and all responsibility for deleting it. The client should not keep, use, or reference, the instrlist or any of the instrs it contains after passing.
This routine supports replacement for the current thread only. drcontext must be from the current thread and must be the drcontext used to create the instruction list. This routine may not be called from the thread exit event.
Returns
false if the fragment does not exist and true otherwise.

◆ dr_request_synchronized_exit()

void dr_request_synchronized_exit ( void  )

◆ dr_resume_all_other_threads()

bool dr_resume_all_other_threads ( IN void **  drcontexts,
IN uint  num_suspended 
)

May only be used after invoking dr_suspend_all_other_threads(). This routine resumes the threads that were suspended by dr_suspend_all_other_threads() and must be passed the same array and count of suspended threads that were returned by dr_suspend_all_other_threads(). It also frees the drcontexts array and releases the locks acquired by dr_suspend_all_other_threads(). The return value indicates whether all resumption attempts were successful.

◆ dr_retakeover_suspended_native_thread()

bool dr_retakeover_suspended_native_thread ( void *  drcontext)

Causes the thread owning drcontext to begin executing in the code cache again once it is resumed. The thread must currently be suspended (typically by dr_suspend_all_other_threads_ex() with DR_SUSPEND_NATIVE) and must be currently native (typically from DR_EMIT_GO_NATIVE).

Returns
whether successful.

◆ dr_rwlock_create()

void* dr_rwlock_create ( void  )

Creates and initializes a read-write lock. A read-write lock allows multiple readers or alternatively a single writer. The lock restrictions for mutexes apply (see dr_mutex_create()).

◆ dr_rwlock_destroy()

void dr_rwlock_destroy ( void *  rwlock)

Deletes rwlock.

◆ dr_rwlock_mark_as_app()

bool dr_rwlock_mark_as_app ( void *  rwlock)

Instructs DR to treat this lock as an application lock. Primarily this avoids debug-build checks that no DR locks are held in situations where locks are disallowed.

Warning
Any one lock should either be a DR lock or an application lock. Use this routine with caution and do not call it on a DR lock that is used in DR contexts, as it disables debug checks.
Returns
whether successful.

◆ dr_rwlock_read_lock()

void dr_rwlock_read_lock ( void *  rwlock)

Acquires a read lock on rwlock.

◆ dr_rwlock_read_unlock()

void dr_rwlock_read_unlock ( void *  rwlock)

Releases a read lock on rwlock.

◆ dr_rwlock_self_owns_write_lock()

bool dr_rwlock_self_owns_write_lock ( void *  rwlock)

Returns whether the calling thread owns the write lock on rwlock.

◆ dr_rwlock_write_lock()

void dr_rwlock_write_lock ( void *  rwlock)

Acquires a write lock on rwlock.

◆ dr_rwlock_write_trylock()

bool dr_rwlock_write_trylock ( void *  rwlock)

Tries once to acquire a write lock on rwlock and returns whether successful.

◆ dr_rwlock_write_unlock()

void dr_rwlock_write_unlock ( void *  rwlock)

Releases a write lock on rwlock.

◆ dr_safe_read()

bool dr_safe_read ( const void *  base,
size_t  size,
void *  out_buf,
size_t *  bytes_read 
)

Safely reads size bytes from address base into buffer out_buf. Reading is done without the possibility of an exception occurring. Returns true if the entire size bytes were read; otherwise returns false and if bytes_read is non-NULL returns the partial number of bytes read in bytes_read.

Note
See also DR_TRY_EXCEPT().

◆ dr_safe_write()

bool dr_safe_write ( void *  base,
size_t  size,
const void *  in_buf,
size_t *  bytes_written 
)

Safely writes size bytes from buffer in_buf to address base. Writing is done without the possibility of an exception occurring. Returns true if the entire size bytes were written; otherwise returns false and if bytes_written is non-NULL returns the partial number of bytes written in bytes_written.

Note
See also DR_TRY_EXCEPT().

◆ dr_set_client_name()

bool dr_set_client_name ( const char *  name,
const char *  report_URL 
)

Sets information presented to users in diagnostic messages. Only one name is supported, regardless of how many clients are in use. If this routine is called a second time, the new values supersede the original. The report_URL is meant to be a bug tracker location where users should go to report errors in the client end-user tool.

◆ dr_set_client_version_string()

bool dr_set_client_version_string ( const char *  version)

Sets the version string presented to users in diagnostic messages.

◆ dr_set_itimer()

bool dr_set_itimer ( int  which,
uint  millisec,
void(*)(void *drcontext, dr_mcontext_t *mcontext)  func 
)

Installs an interval timer in the itimer sharing group that contains the calling thread.

Parameters
[in]whichMust be one of ITIMER_REAL, ITIMER_VIRTUAL, or ITIMER_PROF
[in]millisecThe frequency of the timer, in milliseconds. Passing 0 disables the timer.
[in]funcThe function that will be called each time the timer fires. It will be passed the context of the thread that received the itimer signal and its machine context, which has not been translated and so may contain raw code cache values. The function will be called from a signal handler that may have interrupted a lock holder or other critical code, so it must be careful in its operations: keep it as simple as possible, and avoid lock usage or I/O operations. If a general timer that does not interrupt client code is required, the client should create a separate thread via dr_create_client_thread() (which is guaranteed to have a private itimer) and set the itimer there, where the callback function can perform more operations safely if that new thread never acquires locks in its normal operation.

Itimer sharing varies by kernel. Prior to 2.6.12 itimers were thread-private; after 2.6.12 they are shared across a thread group, though there could be multiple thread groups in one address space. The dr_get_itimer() function can be used to see whether a thread already has an itimer in its group to avoid re-setting an itimer set by an earlier thread. A client thread created by dr_create_client_thread() is guaranteed to not share its itimers with application threads.

The itimer will operate successfully in the presence of an application itimer of the same type.

Additional itimer signals are blocked while in our signal handler.

The return value indicates whether the timer was successfully installed (or uninstalled if 0 was passed for millisec).

Note
Linux-only.

◆ dr_set_random_seed()

void dr_set_random_seed ( uint  seed)

Sets the seed used for dr_get_random_value(). Generally this would only be called during client initialization.

◆ dr_set_tls_field()

void dr_set_tls_field ( void *  drcontext,
void *  value 
)

Sets the user-controlled thread-local-storage field. To generate an instruction sequence that reads the drcontext field inline in the code cache, use dr_insert_write_tls_field().

◆ dr_sleep()

void dr_sleep ( int  time_ms)

Current thread sleeps for time_ms milliseconds.

◆ dr_snprintf()

int dr_snprintf ( char *  buf,
size_t  max,
const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Utility routine to print a formatted message to a string. Will not print more than max characters. If successful, returns the number of characters printed, not including the terminating null character. If the number of characters to write equals max, then the caller is responsible for supplying a terminating null character. If the number of characters to write exceeds max, then max characters are written and -1 is returned. If an error occurs, a negative value is returned.

Note
This routine supports printing wide characters via the ls or S format specifiers. On Windows, they are assumed to be UTF-16, and are converted to UTF-8. On Linux, they are converted by simply dropping the high-order bytes.
On Windows, you can use _snprintf() instead (though _snprintf() does not support printing floating point values and does not convert between UTF-16 and UTF-8).
When printing floating-point values, the caller's code should use proc_save_fpstate() or be inside a clean call that has requested to preserve the floating-point state.

◆ dr_snwprintf()

int dr_snwprintf ( wchar_t *  buf,
size_t  max,
const wchar_t *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Wide character version of dr_snprintf(). All of the comments for dr_snprintf() apply, except for the hs or S format specifiers. On Windows, these will assume that the input is UTF-8, and will convert to UTF-16. On Linux, they will widen a single-byte character string into a wchar_t character string with zero as the high-order bytes.

◆ dr_sscanf()

int dr_sscanf ( const char *  str,
const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)

Utility routine to parse strings that match a pre-defined format string, similar to the sscanf() C routine.

Parameters
[in]strString to parse.
[in]fmtFormat string controlling parsing.
[out]...All remaining parameters interpreted as output parameter pointers. The type of each parameter must match the type implied by the corresponding format specifier in fmt.
Returns
The number of specifiers matched.

The benefit of using dr_sscanf() over native sscanf() is that DR's implementation is standalone, signal-safe, and cross-platform. On Linux, sscanf() has been observed to call malloc(). On Windows, sscanf() will call strlen(), which can break when using mapped files.

The behavior of dr_sscanf() is mostly identical to that of the sscanf() C routine.

Supported format specifiers:

  • %s: Matches a sequence of non-whitespace characters. The string is copied into the provided output buffer. To avoid buffer overflow, the caller should use a width specifier.
  • %c: Matches any single character.
  • %d: Matches a signed decimal integer.
  • %u: Matches an unsigned decimal integer.
  • %x: Matches an unsigned hexadecimal integer, with or without a leading 0x.
  • %p: Matches a pointer-sized hexadecimal integer as x does.
  • %%: Matches a literal % character. Does not store output.

Supported format modifiers:

  • *: The * modifier causes the scan to match the specifier, but not store any output. No output parameter is consumed for this specifier, and one should not be passed.
  • 0-9: A decimal integer preceding the specifier gives the width to match. For strings, this indicates the maximum number of characters to copy. For integers, this indicates the maximum number of digits to parse.
  • h: Marks an integer specifier as short.
  • l: Marks an integer specifier as long.
  • ll: Marks an integer specifier as long long. Use this for 64-bit integers.
Warning
dr_sscanf() does not support parsing floating point numbers yet.

◆ dr_standalone_init()

void* dr_standalone_init ( void  )

Creates a DR context that can be used in a standalone program.

Warning
This context cannot be used as the drcontext for a thread running under DR control! It is only for standalone programs that wish to use DR as a library of disassembly, etc. routines.
Returns
NULL on failure, such as running on an unsupported operating system version.

◆ dr_suspend_all_other_threads()

bool dr_suspend_all_other_threads ( OUT void ***  drcontexts,
OUT uint *  num_suspended,
OUT uint *  num_unsuspended 
)

Identical to dr_suspend_all_other_threads_ex() with flags set to 0.

◆ dr_suspend_all_other_threads_ex()

bool dr_suspend_all_other_threads_ex ( OUT void ***  drcontexts,
OUT uint *  num_suspended,
OUT uint *  num_unsuspended,
dr_suspend_flags_t  flags 
)

Suspends all other threads in the process and returns an array of contexts in drcontexts with one context per successfully suspended thread. The contexts can be passed to routines like dr_get_thread_id() or dr_get_mcontext(). However, the contexts may not be modified: dr_set_mcontext() is not supported. dr_get_mcontext() can be called on the caller of this routine, unless in a Windows nudge callback.

The flags argument controls which threads are suspended and may add further options in the future.

The number of successfully suspended threads, which is also the length of the drcontexts array, is returned in num_suspended, which is a required parameter. The number of un-successfully suspended threads, if any, is returned in the optional parameter num_unsuspended. The calling thread is not considered in either count. DR can fail to suspend a thread for privilege reasons (e.g., on Windows in a low-privilege process where another process injected a thread). This function returns true iff all threads were suspended, in which case num_unsuspended will be 0.

The caller must invoke dr_resume_all_other_threads() in order to resume the suspended threads, free the drcontexts array, and release coarse-grain locks that prevent new threads from being created.

This routine may not be called from any registered event callback other than the nudge event or the pre- or post-system call event. It may be called from clean calls out of the cache. This routine may not be called while any locks are held that could block a thread processing a registered event callback or cache callout.

Note
A client wishing to invoke this routine from an event callback can queue up a nudge via dr_nudge_client() and invoke this routine from the nudge callback.

◆ dr_switch_to_app_state()

void dr_switch_to_app_state ( void *  drcontext)

Equivalent to dr_switch_to_app_state_ex(drcontext, DR_STATE_ALL).

◆ dr_switch_to_app_state_ex()

void dr_switch_to_app_state_ex ( void *  drcontext,
dr_state_flags_t  flags 
)

Swaps to the application version of any system state for the given thread. This is meant to be used prior to examining application memory, when private libraries are in use and there are two versions of system state. Invoking non-DR library routines while the application state is in place can lead to unpredictable results: call dr_switch_to_dr_state() (or the _ex version) before doing so.

This function does not affect whether the current machine context (registers) contains application state or not.

The flags argument allows selecting a subset of the state to swap.

◆ dr_switch_to_dr_state()

void dr_switch_to_dr_state ( void *  drcontext)

Equivalent to dr_switch_to_dr_state_ex(drcontext, DR_STATE_ALL).

◆ dr_switch_to_dr_state_ex()

void dr_switch_to_dr_state_ex ( void *  drcontext,
dr_state_flags_t  flags 
)

Should only be called after calling dr_switch_to_app_state() (or the _ex version), or in certain cases where a client is running its own code in an application state. Swaps from the application version of system state for the given thread back to the DR and client version.

This function does not affect whether the current machine context (registers) contains application state or not.

A client must call dr_switch_to_dr_state() in order to safely call private library routines if it is running in an application context where dr_using_app_state() returns true. On Windows, this is the case for any application context, as the system state is always swapped. On Linux, however, execution of application code in the code cache only swaps the machine context and not the system state. Thus, on Linux, while in the code cache, dr_using_app_state() will return false, and it is safe to invoke private library routines without calling dr_switch_to_dr_state(). Only if client or client-invoked code will examine a segment selector or descriptor does the state need to be swapped. A state swap is much more expensive on Linux (it requires a system call) than on Windows.

The same flags that were passed to dr_switch_to_app_state_ex() should be passed here.

◆ dr_symbol_export_iterator_hasnext()

bool dr_symbol_export_iterator_hasnext ( dr_symbol_export_iterator_t *  iter)

Returns true if there is another exported symbol in the iterator.

◆ dr_symbol_export_iterator_next()

dr_symbol_export_t* dr_symbol_export_iterator_next ( dr_symbol_export_iterator_t *  iter)

Returns the next exported symbol. The returned pointer is valid until the next call to dr_symbol_export_iterator_next() or dr_symbol_export_iterator_stop().

◆ dr_symbol_export_iterator_start()

dr_symbol_export_iterator_t* dr_symbol_export_iterator_start ( module_handle_t  handle)

Creates an iterator over symbols exported by a module. The iterator returned is invalid until after the first call to dr_symbol_export_iterator_next().

Note
To iterate over all symbols in a module and not just those exported, use the Symbol Access Library.

◆ dr_symbol_export_iterator_stop()

void dr_symbol_export_iterator_stop ( dr_symbol_export_iterator_t *  iter)

Stops symbol export iteration and frees the iterator.

◆ dr_symbol_import_iterator_hasnext()

bool dr_symbol_import_iterator_hasnext ( dr_symbol_import_iterator_t *  iter)

Returns true if there is another imported symbol in the iterator.

◆ dr_symbol_import_iterator_next()

dr_symbol_import_t* dr_symbol_import_iterator_next ( dr_symbol_import_iterator_t *  iter)

Returns the next imported symbol. The returned pointer is valid until the next call to dr_symbol_import_iterator_next() or dr_symbol_import_iterator_stop().

◆ dr_symbol_import_iterator_start()

dr_symbol_import_iterator_t* dr_symbol_import_iterator_start ( module_handle_t  handle,
dr_module_import_desc_t *  from_module 
)

Creates an iterator over symbols imported by a module. If from_module is NULL, all imported symbols are yielded, regardless of which module they were imported from.

On Windows, from_module is obtained from a dr_module_import_t and used to iterate over all of the imports from a specific module.

The iterator returned is invalid until after the first call to dr_symbol_import_iterator_next().

Note
On Windows, symbols imported from delay-loaded DLLs are not included yet.

◆ dr_symbol_import_iterator_stop()

void dr_symbol_import_iterator_stop ( dr_symbol_import_iterator_t *  iter)

Stops symbol import iteration and frees the iterator.

◆ dr_syscall_get_param()

reg_t dr_syscall_get_param ( void *  drcontext,
int  param_num 
)

Usable only from a pre-syscall (dr_register_pre_syscall_event()) event. Returns the value of system call parameter number param_num.

It is up to the caller to ensure that reading this parameter is safe: this routine does not know the number of parameters for each system call, nor does it check whether this might read off the base of the stack.

Note
On some platforms, notably MacOS, a 32-bit application's system call can still take a 64-bit parameter (typically on the stack). In that situation, this routine will consider the 64-bit parameter to be split into high and low parts, each with its own parameter number.

◆ dr_syscall_get_result()

reg_t dr_syscall_get_result ( void *  drcontext)

Usable only from a post-syscall (dr_register_post_syscall_event()) event. Returns the return value of the system call that will be presented to the application.

Note
On some platforms (such as MacOS), a 32-bit application's system call can return a 64-bit value. Use dr_syscall_get_result_ex() to obtain the upper bits in that case.
On some platforms (such as MacOS), whether a system call succeeded or failed cannot be determined from the main result value. Use dr_syscall_get_result_ex() to obtain the success result in such cases.

◆ dr_syscall_get_result_ex()

bool dr_syscall_get_result_ex ( void *  drcontext,
dr_syscall_result_info_t *info  INOUT 
)

Usable only from a post-syscall (dr_register_post_syscall_event()) event. Returns whether it successfully retrieved the results of the system call into info.

The caller should set the size, use_high, and use_errno fields of info prior to calling this routine. See the fields of dr_syscall_result_info_t for details.

◆ dr_syscall_intercept_natively()

bool dr_syscall_intercept_natively ( const char *  name,
int  sysnum,
int  num_args,
int  wow64_index 
)

Must be invoked from dr_client_main(). Requests that the named ntoskrnl system call be intercepted even when threads are native (e.g., due to DR_EMIT_GO_NATIVE). Only a limited number of system calls being intercepted while native are supported. This routine will fail once that limit is reached.

Parameters
[in]nameThe system call name. The name must match an exported system call wrapper in ntdll.dll.
[in]sysnumThe system call number (the value placed in the eax register).
[in]num_argsThe number of arguments to the system call.
[in]wow64_indexThe value placed in the ecx register when this system call is executed in a WOW64 process. This value should be obtainable by examining the system call wrapper.
Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_syscall_invoke_another()

void dr_syscall_invoke_another ( void *  drcontext)

Usable only from a post-syscall (dr_register_post_syscall_event()) event. An additional system call will be invoked immediately, using the current values of the parameters, which can be set with dr_syscall_set_param(). The system call to be invoked should be specified with dr_syscall_set_sysnum().

Use this routine with caution. Especially on Windows, care must be taken if the application is expected to continue afterward. When system call parameters are stored on the stack, modifying them can result in incorrect application behavior, particularly when setting more parameters than were present in the original system call, which will result in corruption of the application stack.

On Windows, when the first system call is interruptible (alertable), the additional system call may be delayed.

DR will set key registers such as r10 for 64-bit or xdx for sysenter or WOW64 system calls. However, DR will not set ecx for WOW64; that is up to the client.

◆ dr_syscall_set_param()

void dr_syscall_set_param ( void *  drcontext,
int  param_num,
reg_t  new_value 
)

Usable only from a pre-syscall (dr_register_pre_syscall_event()) event, or from a post-syscall (dr_register_post_syscall_event()) event when also using dr_syscall_invoke_another(). Sets the value of system call parameter number param_num to new_value.

It is up to the caller to ensure that writing this parameter is safe: this routine does not know the number of parameters for each system call, nor does it check whether this might write beyond the base of the stack.

Note
On some platforms, notably MacOS, a 32-bit application's system call can still take a 64-bit parameter (typically on the stack). In that situation, this routine will consider the 64-bit parameter to be split into high and low parts, each with its own parameter number.

◆ dr_syscall_set_result()

void dr_syscall_set_result ( void *  drcontext,
reg_t  value 
)

Usable only from a pre-syscall (dr_register_pre_syscall_event()) or post-syscall (dr_register_post_syscall_event()) event. For pre-syscall, should only be used when skipping the system call. This sets the return value of the system call that the application sees to value.

Note
On MacOS, do not use this function as it fails to set the carry flag and thus fails to properly indicate whether the system call succeeded or failed: use dr_syscall_set_result_ex() instead.

◆ dr_syscall_set_result_ex()

bool dr_syscall_set_result_ex ( void *  drcontext,
dr_syscall_result_info_t info 
)

Usable only from a pre-syscall (dr_register_pre_syscall_event()) or post-syscall (dr_register_post_syscall_event()) event. For pre-syscall, should only be used when skipping the system call.

This sets the returned results of the system call as specified in info. Returns whether it successfully did so. See the fields of dr_syscall_result_info_t for details.

◆ dr_syscall_set_sysnum()

void dr_syscall_set_sysnum ( void *  drcontext,
int  new_num 
)

Usable only from a pre-syscall (dr_register_pre_syscall_event()) event, or from a post-syscall (dr_register_post_syscall_event()) event when also using dr_syscall_invoke_another(). Sets the system call number of the system call about to be invoked to new_num.

◆ dr_thread_alloc()

void* dr_thread_alloc ( void *  drcontext,
size_t  size 
)

Allocates size bytes of memory from DR's memory pool specific to the thread associated with drcontext.

◆ dr_thread_free()

void dr_thread_free ( void *  drcontext,
void *  mem,
size_t  size 
)

Frees thread-specific memory allocated by dr_thread_alloc(). size must be the same as that passed to dr_thread_alloc().

◆ dr_thread_yield()

void dr_thread_yield ( void  )

Current thread gives up its time quantum.

◆ dr_trace_exists_at()

bool dr_trace_exists_at ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag 
)

Checks to see that if there is a trace in the code cache at tag tag.

◆ dr_trace_head_at()

bool dr_trace_head_at ( void *  drcontext,
void *  tag 
)

Checks to see if the fragment (or future fragment) with tag tag is marked as a trace head.

◆ dr_track_where_am_i()

void dr_track_where_am_i ( void  )

Should be called during process initialization. Requests more accurate tracking of the dr_where_am_i_t value for use with dr_where_am_i(). By default, if this routine is not called, DR avoids some updates to the value that incur extra overhead, such as identifying clean callees.

◆ dr_try_setup()

void dr_try_setup ( void *  drcontext,
void **  try_cxt 
)

Do not call this directly: use the DR_TRY_EXCEPT macro instead.

◆ dr_try_start()

int dr_try_start ( void *  buf)

Do not call this directly: use the DR_TRY_EXCEPT macro instead.

◆ dr_try_stop()

void dr_try_stop ( void *  drcontext,
void *  try_cxt 
)

Do not call this directly: use the DR_TRY_EXCEPT macro instead.

◆ dr_unlink_flush_region()

bool dr_unlink_flush_region ( app_pc  start,
size_t  size 
)

Flush all fragments containing any code from the region [start, start + size). Control will not enter a fragment containing code from the region after this returns, but a thread already in such a fragment will finish out the fragment. This includes the current thread if this is called from a clean call that returns to the cache. This routine may only be called during a clean call from the cache, from a nudge event handler, or from a pre- or post-system call event handler. It may not be called from any other event callback. No locks can be held when calling this routine. Returns true if successful.

Note
This routine may not be called from any registered event callback other than the nudge event, the pre- or post-system call events, the exception event, or the signal event; clean calls out of the cache may call this routine.
This routine may not be called while any locks are held that could block a thread processing a registered event callback or cache callout.
dr_delay_flush_region() has fewer restrictions on use, but is less synchronous.
Use size == 1 to flush fragments containing the instruction at address start. A flush of size == 0 is not allowed.
This routine is only available with either the -thread_private or -enable_full_api options. It is not available when -opt_memory is specified.

◆ dr_unload_aux_library()

bool dr_unload_aux_library ( dr_auxlib_handle_t  lib)

Unloads the given library, which must have been loaded by dr_load_aux_library(). Returns whether successful.

◆ dr_unmap_executable_file()

bool dr_unmap_executable_file ( byte *  base,
size_t  size 
)

Unmaps a file loaded by dr_map_executable_file().

◆ dr_unmap_file()

bool dr_unmap_file ( void *  map,
size_t  size 
)

Unmaps a portion of a file mapping previously created by dr_map_file().

Returns
whether successful.
Parameters
[in]mapThe base address to be unmapped. Must be page size aligned.
[in]sizeThe size to be unmapped. All pages overlapping with the range are unmapped.
Note
On Windows, the whole file will be unmapped instead.

◆ dr_using_all_private_caches()

bool dr_using_all_private_caches ( void  )

Returns true if all DynamoRIO caches are thread private.

◆ dr_using_app_state()

bool dr_using_app_state ( void *  drcontext)

Returns whether the given thread indicated by drcontext is currently using the application version of its system state.

See also
dr_switch_to_dr_state(), dr_switch_to_app_state().

This function does not indicate whether the machine context (registers) contains application state or not.

On Linux, DR very rarely switches the system state, while on Windows DR switches the system state to the DR and client version on every event callback or clean call.

◆ dr_using_console()

bool dr_using_console ( void  )

Returns true if the current standard error handle belongs to a legacy console window (viz., cmd on Windows 7 or earlier). DR's dr_printf() and dr_fprintf() do not work with such console windows unless dr_enable_console_printing() is called ahead of time, and even then there are limitations detailed in dr_enable_console_printing(). This routine may result in loading a private copy of kernel32.dll.

Note
Windows only.

◆ dr_vfprintf()

ssize_t dr_vfprintf ( file_t  f,
const char *  fmt,
va_list  ap 
)

Identical to dr_fprintf() but exposes va_list.

◆ dr_virtual_query()

size_t dr_virtual_query ( const byte *  pc,
MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION *  mbi,
size_t  mbi_size 
)

Equivalent to the win32 API function VirtualQuery(). See that routine for a description of arguments and return values.

Note
Windows only.
DR may mark writable code pages as read-only but pretend they're writable. When this happens, this routine will indicate that the memory is writable. Call dr_query_memory() or dr_query_memory_ex() before attempting to write to application memory to ensure it's not read-only underneath.

◆ dr_vsnprintf()

int dr_vsnprintf ( char *  buf,
size_t  max,
const char *  fmt,
va_list  ap 
)

Identical to dr_snprintf() but exposes va_list.

◆ dr_vsnwprintf()

int dr_vsnwprintf ( wchar_t *  buf,
size_t  max,
const wchar_t *  fmt,
va_list  ap 
)

Identical to dr_snwprintf() but exposes va_list.

◆ dr_where_am_i()

dr_where_am_i_t dr_where_am_i ( void *  drcontext,
app_pc  pc,
OUT void **  tag 
)

Returns the dr_where_am_i_t value indicating in which area of code pc resides. This is meant for use with dr_set_itimer() for PC sampling for profiling purposes. If the optional tag is non-NULL and pc is inside a fragment in the code cache, the fragment's tag is returned in tag. It is recommended that the user of this routine also call dr_track_where_am_i() during process initialization for more accurate results.

◆ dr_write_file()

ssize_t dr_write_file ( file_t  f,
const void *  buf,
size_t  count 
)

Writes count bytes from buf to file f. Returns the actual number written.
