I wrote an idaplugin with idapython, but it has some function that only works after IDA is done parsing the input file and displays the disassembly window. So, is there a way to automatically run a plugin after IDA has finished parsing?

P/S: I tried using IDBHooks but everytime I hook in IDA crashes, therefore I want to find another way without hooks.

It sounds like idaapi.autoWait() is what you are looking for. Simply add it to the beginning of your script.

  • idaapi.autoWait() pause all my script, so IDA will be crashed Apr 15, 2014 at 3:56
  • If you are waiting for IDA to finish analysis before executing your script or calling your function then call idaapi.autoWait(). It will wait/pause until IDA is completed with its analysis. Once the analysis is completed it will return control/execution back to the script. You might need to call it at the beginning of your function rather than beginning of the script.
