# 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 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: 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: ``` GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-actions/hx_toggleskippableinsn.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. 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.
