Color me impressed with Ghidra. Just stuff like this alone is worth it over IDA. No more fumbling over getting function prototype syntax just right to IDA's liking.pic.twitter.com/MQfprAfOuK

You can map them to hotkeys though. I could get used to this workflow, but it's too strict (e.g. doesn't work for globals). I just want a dumb "highlight all the same symbol/text" thing...

Very cool that it has this "project" concept with a bunch of associated files, and you can link them together (e.g. follow refs from one DLL to another).pic.twitter.com/4H9itAtJ8V

And it's not just an ugly hack that loads another file; the history is seamless, you can go back to where you came from. Cool.

All the keybindings are configurable, and some of the defaults are just dumb (this used to be Ctrl-Shift-F), so let's fix that.pic.twitter.com/BAAoSaWDVc

Hah, figures it had to be in there somewhere. Honestly it should just do this by default, but I'm cool with middle mouse.https://twitter.com/0Ekho/status/1103191269029736448 …

The dark theme is... questionable, mostly because Java. It makes the menu bar unreadable. Oh well, I guess I can live with a light theme for now. Someone will probably get annoyed enough to fix this at some point.

Ah, this is a bit sad. It doesn't know that __chkesp() does not touch ST0, which breaks dataflow analysis of float return values. I can't find a sane way to override it that doesn't involve declaring it as taking a float and returning a float, which would affect *every* call.pic.twitter.com/3IQPnlWFKE

I wonder if there's a way of customizing clobbers... if it knew __chkesp() does not clobber ST0 it would work. I can make it take an arg at ST0 and return in ST0 and at least get the dataflow, but then that gunks up every function that *doesn't* return a float...

Fixed it. You can define your own calling conventions easily enough by editing Ghidra/Processors/x86/data/languages/x86win.cspec. I just defined a __fastcall_nofloat that doesn't kill float regs, and it works now.pic.twitter.com/FbwgyQ4dqC
