Why another RTTI parser ?

Known tools didn't have functionality to rename functions based on typeinfo ( e.g. sub_4B5A to BaseClass::AnotherClass::sub_4B5A ). So, I decided to spend few more hours to rewrite code, learn how to write IDA plugins. Finally, it works pretty fast, I really liked it, so I'll continue to update it.

Known issues

No Code refs found for _ZNTV...

Problem:

I didn't find a way to get address of first character of string that matched at some position. If know/found solution just add answer in #1 issue

Steps to resolve:

Find full symbol name for __class_type_info, __si_class_type_info or __vmi_class_type_info by searching in IDA and replace old ones in TiClassKind in rtti_parse.py.

Can't rename byte at 'xxx' because the name is already used in the program.

Problem:

It's a bug that will be fixed in later commits. Probably, will add number prefix to names as IDA does for functions.

Current cover

• GNU g++ 64-bit
• IDA Pro 7.4-7.6
• Rename functions to BaseClass::AnotherClass::sub_4B5A format
• Create structures for vtables
• Fix: some functions are only renamed, but retyping fails
• Fix: place "v" at the end of symbol only if there are no parameters for function
• Beta support for ARM 32-bit
• Find destructors ( Not really sure how accurate it will be )
• Make class graph
• IDA Pro 7.0-7.3 support
• GNU G++ 32-bit
• MSVC 64-bit
• MSVC 32-bit

Test environment

• Windows 10 2021 H1
• IDA Pro 7.6
• Python 3.10 ( I'm surprised this python version works well )
• x64 GNU g++ binary

Examples

Check out example folder. There are .elf files for you to test.
