The STRIDE Instrumentation Utility

The s2sinstrument 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 (output from s2sbind)
  • 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 "#".

Example: Dynamic delegate generation for the group_id MEM_ROUTINES

 --default_mode=Dd#MEM_ROUTINES
--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.

Example: Generate proxy for functions f1 and f2

 --mode=P(f1,f2)
--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.
