in hey-rays api there's a method:
def find_def(self, *args) -> "minsn_t *":
r"""
find_def(self, op, p_i1, i2, fdflags) -> minsn_t
@param op: mop_t const &
@param p_i1: minsn_t **
@param i2: minsn_t const *
@param fdflags: int
"""
return _ida_hexrays.mblock_t_find_def(self, *args)
which will need a ptr to ptr to a instruction.
but I didn't find any method can create a minsn_t **. is there any way to do that?
None) to those. If you're trying to get the parent minstruction, though, because your result resides in an moperand, you might be able to combinebuild_def_listto get anmlist_t, and thenmblock_t.for_all_usesif you only need it for a single mblock. In my (limited) experience,mlist_tand thefor_all_*methods are more reliable for doing searches, especially because you're not limited to just an mblock.
