S2sinstrument

The STRIDE Instrumentation Utility

The s2sinstrument.exe executable generates instrumentation code, also known as IM, or intercept module code. It is a command line utility that accepts the following input:

• database (.sidb) file
• intercept module name
• C/C++ code files, output location and C header files output location
• a set of configuration options

The resulting output files will be generated:

• a prototype header file <im_name>IM.h
• implementation files <im_name>IM.c(pp) and <im_name>IMEmtry.h
• a read-me file <im_name>IMReadMe.txt.

Syntax

s2sinstrument [options] database_file

Options

Option	Description
--im_name=<string>	The intercept module name. The default is the base name of the databaseFile.
--im_suffix=<string>	The intercept module file name suffix. The default is "IM".
--code_output=<path>	The location of the generated C or C++ files. The default is the current directory.
--header_output=<path>	The location of the generated header files and text (read me) file. The default is the current directory.
--strip_path	When present, the path information from include directives will be striped.
--disable_access_class	When present, all interface SUIDs will be explicitly registered instead of using access class registration.
--suppress_exception_handling	When present, C++ exceptions would not be handled as errors.
--prototype=<tag>	Generate only prototype header files. <tag> is a unique tag that would be appended to the prototype header file name.
--implement	Generate only implementation files.
--default_mode=<mode>[#<group_id>]	Optional. When present, sets the default generation mode. If not present the <mode> is assumed to be "S" and <group_id> empty. The format of the <mode> is "SP[Doued]", where: "S" - stub "P" – proxy "D" – delegate "o" – owner "u" – user "e" – explicit "d" - dynamic The <group_id> is the delegate group id. To set the default mode to NOP (do nothing) set its value to "#".
--mode=<mode>[#<group_id>] (<interface>[,<interface>…])	Interface specific generation mode. The <mode> and <group_id> are the same as above. The <interface> is an interface name. This option could be repeated as many times as needed. It overrides any --default_mode option otherwise in effect. To set the mode for a set of functions to NOP (do nothing) set <mode> to empty.
--options_file=<file>	A file that contains command line options. The format is the same as the command line with the only addition that it could be split on multiple lines. A line starting with "#" symbol is ignored. This option is necessary if the length of the command line string exceeds system limits. Otherwise it is provided only as a convenience.
