IDAPython for IDA 7.00: backward-compatibility with 6.95 APIs ============================================================= Availability of the backward-compatibility code ----------------------------------------------- * Backward-compatibility is provided by python.cfg's `AUTOIMPORT_COMPAT_IDA695` directive. This directive is currently turned on by default, but in the future it will: 1. be turned off by default 1. eventually disappear, and all the corresponding code will be removed * Consequently IDAPython script/plugin writers should try and port their code, with the help of the porting guide XXX FIXME URL? XXX. * Once you have done the porting, please check that your code works with `AUTOIMPORT_COMPAT_IDA695` set to `NO`. * If anything proves too hard or confusing, please let us know about it on , and we will help you, either by fixing IDAPython if needed, or by improving the documentation. Coverage of the backward-compatibility code ------------------------------------------- * We did what was reasonably feasible, to provide an IDAPython API that's as backward-compatible as possible with the IDA 6.95 API * However, we considered it unreasonable for some parts of the API to be ported. Most notably: * the "processor module" API: existing processor modules will have to be ported to the new API. Please see the SDK's `module/script/proctemplate.py` (or any other `*.py` file in that directory) for examples how to use the new API. * processor module-related notifications: some of those have either been renamed, or have possibly changed signature * Most (all?) of the renamed functions, properties, etc... should be covered, in all modules: `idaapi`, `idc`, ... If something doesn't work/isn't there anymore, it's likely an omission from our side. * Please let us know about any missing bits & pieces, that you believe should be there and that we might have forgotten!
