ida_problems
============
.. py:module:: ida_problems
.. autoapi-nested-parse::
Functions that deal with the list of problems.
There are several problem lists. An address may be inserted to any list. The kernel simply maintains these lists, no additional processing is done.
The problem lists are accessible for the user from the View->Subviews->Problems menu item.
Addresses in the lists are kept sorted. In general IDA just maintains these lists without using them during analysis (except PR_ROLLED).

Module Contents
---------------
.. py:function:: get_problem_desc(t: problist_id_t, ea: ida_idaapi.ea_t) -> str
Get the human-friendly description of the problem, if one was provided to remember_problem.
:param t: problem list type.
:param ea: linear address.
:returns: the message length or -1 if none
.. py:function:: remember_problem(type: problist_id_t, ea: ida_idaapi.ea_t, msg: str = None) -> None
Insert an address to a list of problems. Display a message saying about the problem (except of PR_ATTN,PR_FINAL) PR_JUMP is temporarily ignored.
:param type: problem list type
:param ea: linear address
:param msg: a user-friendly message to be displayed instead of the default more generic one associated with the type of problem. Defaults to nullptr.
.. py:function:: get_problem(type: problist_id_t, lowea: ida_idaapi.ea_t) -> ida_idaapi.ea_t
Get an address from the specified problem list. The address is not removed from the list.
:param type: problem list type
:param lowea: the returned address will be higher or equal than the specified address
:returns: linear address or BADADDR
.. py:function:: forget_problem(type: problist_id_t, ea: ida_idaapi.ea_t) -> bool
Remove an address from a problem list
:param type: problem list type
:param ea: linear address
:returns: success
.. py:function:: get_problem_name(type: problist_id_t, longname: bool = True) -> str
Get problem list description.
.. py:function:: is_problem_present(t: problist_id_t, ea: ida_idaapi.ea_t) -> bool
Check if the specified address is present in the problem list.
.. py:function:: was_ida_decision(ea: ida_idaapi.ea_t) -> bool
.. py:data:: cvar
.. py:data:: PR_NOBASE
Can't find offset base.
.. py:data:: PR_NONAME
Can't find name.
.. py:data:: PR_NOFOP
Can't find forced op (not used anymore)
.. py:data:: PR_NOCMT
Can't find comment (not used anymore)
.. py:data:: PR_NOXREFS
Can't find references.
.. py:data:: PR_JUMP
Jump by table !!!! ignored.
.. py:data:: PR_DISASM
Can't disasm.
.. py:data:: PR_HEAD
Already head.
.. py:data:: PR_ILLADDR
Exec flows beyond limits.
.. py:data:: PR_MANYLINES
Too many lines.
.. py:data:: PR_BADSTACK
Failed to trace the value of the stack pointer.
.. py:data:: PR_ATTN
Attention! Probably erroneous situation.
.. py:data:: PR_FINAL
Decision to convert to instruction/data is made by IDA.
.. py:data:: PR_ROLLED
The decision made by IDA was wrong and rolled back.
.. py:data:: PR_COLLISION
FLAIR collision: the function with the given name already exists.
.. py:data:: PR_DECIMP
FLAIR match indecision: the patterns matched, but not the function(s) being referenced.
.. py:data:: PR_END
Number of problem types.
