Potential Future Improvements

[pdamian]

• [ ] Improve adding of hooks
  • After selecting a function (e.g. strlen) or block name (e.g. .text), it is no longer possible to "unselect" it and show everything (current workaround: type a filter and remove it afterwards)
  • When clicking a hook address in Ghidrion, the Ghidra code browser should move to the corresponding address
• [ ] The memory diff view should add $$ in case an entry is symbolic. Color background in case concrete / symbolic value changed between entry and leave state
• [ ] Ghidrion GUI should be made more responsive (large areas of window are empty)
• [ ] The memory diff view could show an ASCII representation of concrete values, where applicable

The memory diff view should add $$ in case an entry is symbolic. Color background in case concrete / symbolic value changed between entry and leave state

This is currently implemented by coloring different fields. In case there is a difference in value, the name/address is marked green. In case either the entry or leave value is symbolic, the value is marked blue.

Am I misinterpreting your request or is this already implemented?

The rest of the requests seem reasonable.

OK, I misinterpreted the colors. Maybe a color legend within Ghidrion would help.

And red then means a mismatch in entry and leave states.

However, one minor problem I detected is that when you have a new entry in the leave state, which is also symbolic (below marked as $$), the coloring is confusing.

Coloring as it is currently implemented:	Address	Entry State	Leave State
0x1000 (r)		0x41 $$ (r)

Proposed coloring:	Address	Entry State	Leave State
0x1000 (r)		0x41 $$ (b)

Color Scheme: r=red, b=blue

The values should only be colored blue (when they are symbolic) - never green or red. The address / register name is colored green, red or none (black).

Note: I think green means equal values, black not equal (as opposed to what you described).

I see, I thought it should basically never happen that an memory entry or register only appears in the entry or exit state. I have changed it to your proposed solution.

Note: I think green means equal values, black not equal (as opposed to what you described).

That was a fun bug to discover. It's fixed in the current release.

OK, I misinterpreted the colors. Maybe a color legend within Ghidrion would help.

Good idea, I'll see what can be done.
