This is probably a stupid question.
Imagine our dissassembled function takes 1 parameter, for example "unsigned short *"
However, in c++ this could be a BSTR, or something else...what is the best way to figure out the type of input that is expected?
Right now I am just making educated guesses..but there must be a better way? (Or if someone can point me to good books/resources covering this)
To figure out the type of a function parameter, you could reverse engineer the caller to see where the input parameter is coming from and how it's instantiated (potentially needing to go up a few levels in the call stack), and/or you could reverse engineer the callee to see how it handles the parameter.
