  • But pseudo-code is only ever created on-demand, right? Really unclear what it is you want.

In version 6.x of Ida (tweaks will likely need to be made for more recent versions), you would want walk each Segment, then you can enumerate each Function, and from there, run the hexrays decompiler.

This will enumerate all the functions, dump the pseudo code, and then search for the string 'foobar':

import sys, idc, idautils, idaapi

# Writes out the C function pseudo code, with the starting effective address
# returns: string
def DumpPseudoCode(ea):
    if not idaapi.init_hexrays_plugin():
        return ""

    f = idaapi.get_func(ea)
    if f is None:
        return ""

    try:
        cfunc = idaapi.decompile(f);
        if cfunc is None:
            # Failed to decompile
            return ""
    except:
        return ""

    lines = []
    sv = cfunc.get_pseudocode();
    for sline in sv:
        line = idaapi.tag_remove(sline.line);
        lines.append(line)
    return "\r\n".join(lines)

# enumerate all the functions and search for a string in the generated pseudo code
for segea in Segments():
    for funcea in Functions(segea, SegEnd(segea)):
        ccode = DumpPseudoCode(funcea)
        if ('foobar' in ccode)
            # do something
