 Forums >>  IDA Pro  >>  proc_peek_recon - GetFunctionFlags TypeError

Topic created on: March 13, 2008 08:36 CDT by daddsrj .

I've just started with PaiMei so can't rule out my own stupidity for causing this error but just in case...
Using proc_peek_recon.py after IDA has finished auto-analysis I get the following error:
searching for inline memcpy()'s and sign extended moves (movsx).
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Program Files\IDA\python\init.py", line 55, in runscript
    execfile(script, globals())
  File "C:/PaiMei/proc_peek_recon.py", line 113, in ?
    if GetFunctionFlags(ea) & FUNC_LIB:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'NoneType' and 'int'


I altered the code to check for the None after which the script continues until:
looking for potentially interesting API calls now.
enumerating xrefs to sscanf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Program Files\IDA\python\init.py", line 55, in runscript
    execfile(script, globals())
  File "C:/PaiMei/proc_peek_recon.py", line 210, in ?
    if GetFunctionFlags(xref) & FUNC_LIB:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'NoneType' and 'int'


This time adding a check for the None is enough to get the script to complete.

It seems the GetFunctionFlags is causing the problem and I guess the functions being checked exist otherwise -1 would be returned. Has anyone else run into this?

Just noticed this myself, but according to http://www.hex-rays.com/idapro/idadoc/351.htm the function should always return a non zero value - i.e. there is no 0 flag
