# hx\_XrefDecomp

## Description

Decompile all functions that reference the selected global variable and display the relevant code snippets in a separate window. This command will appear on the right-click menu when the cursor is over a global data item. (If the cursor is over a direct call, *Show all call decompilations* will appear instead.)

When selected, it will prompt the user whether they would like to decompile all functions that reference the highlighted global variable. If the user selects "Yes", IDA will decompile those functions, extract the decompilation nearby the reference to that global variable, and show the results in a new window. The user can navigate through this window by double-clicking (or pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd>) on any of the lines.

The following cross reference types are defined:

| Type | Meaning    |
| ---- | ---------- |
| `r`  | Read       |
| `w`  | Write      |
| `rw` | Read/Write |
| `o`  | Reference  |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-9.3/ida-actions/hx_xrefdecomp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
