hx_ToggleSkippableInsn

Description

Toggle skippable instructions. This command marks/unmarks instructions to be skipped by the decompiler. It is useful if some prolog/epilog instructions were missed by IDA. If such instructions were not detected and marked, the decompilation may fail (most frequently the call analysis will fail).

The decompiler skips the prolog, epilog, and switch instructions. It relies on IDA to mark these instructions. Sometimes IDA fails to mark them, and this command can be used to correct the situation.

If the command is applied to marked instructions, it will unmark them.

By default, the skipped instructions are not visualized. To make them visible, edit the IDA.CFG file and uncomment the following lines:

 PROLOG_COLOR = 0xE0E0E0            // grey
 EPILOG_COLOR = 0xE0FFE0            // light green
 SWITCH_COLOR = 0xE0E0FF            // pink
