non-label pool for actual symbols due to formatting causes no index computation #12

Closed LanHikari22 closed 6 years ago

LanHikari22 commented 6 years ago

Form of data in IDA affects its xrefs, so although it's corrected to a label, no index is computed in the pool cmt.

meaning, if you do ldr r0, =somesymbol ... you could've told IDA to display it as ldr r0, =0xdeadbeef and suddenly all of its xrefsFrom are gone, which are needed to know whether it really is somesymbol or somesymbol+x that is being loaded

Perhaps find another way of computing index in that case?

This is not a natural way of using the pool, however. Pool references should not be indexed, so it's more of an indication of invalid pointers.
