I should note that I when I loaded the IDA db back-up (i.e. prior to attempting the rename) it did print some error messages in the output saying "my_func does not have a back reference" but I had no idea what that meant and didn't see or think anything of it. I am not sure what the issue was but I just redid my disassembly in a separate file and kept the old IDA db as a "failed version". | |
