Introduction

The largest change is the removal of two headers:

• struct.hpp

• enum.hpp

The functionalities for working with user-defined types are now available in typeinf.hpp (tinfo_t class).

struct.hpp

Removed classes

• class member_t;

• class struc_t;

struc_t is replaced by the notion of "user-defined type" (udt_type_data_t class) and member_t by dt member (udm_t class).

Removed APIs

• get_struc_qty() Rough equivalent is get_ordinal_limit() or get_ordinal_count() but note that it also includes enums and typedefs.

• get_first_struc_idx()

• get_last_struc_idx()

• get_prev_struc_idx()

• get_next_struc_idx()

Local type ordinals always start at 1 (0 is invalid ordinal) and go up to get_ordinal_limit().

• get_struc_idx(tid_t id)

• get_struc_by_idx(uval_t idx)

enum.hpp

Enumerations are now manipulated via:

• tinfo_t class

• enum_type_data_t class

• edm_t class. in typeinf.hpp

Removed APIs

• get_last_serial_enum_member(uchar *out_serial, enum_t id, uval_t value, bmask_t bmask)

• get_next_serial_enum_member(uchar *in_out_serial, const_t first_cid)

• get_prev_serial_enum_member(uchar *in_out_serial, const_t first_cid)

• for_all_enum_members(enum_t id, enum_member_visitor_t &cv)

• ida_export get_enum_member_serial(const_t cid)
