Is it possible to see a kind of statistics in IDA about functions and how often they are referenced? When analyzing a program, I find it helpfull.
Functions that are referenced very often typically are common functionality. An example would be stuff like strcmp()
, malloc()/free()
, strlen()
, etc..
Some of those are quite easy to identfiy (like a strcmp()
implementation), and giving a name to those functions early on, makes the analysis of the rest more easy.
