# 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  |
