# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-9.5/ida-actions/hx_xrefdecomp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
