symparsepy

symparsepy is a Rust-based Python package for parsing symbols from PDB files. This package leverages the pyo3 library to create Python bindings for Rust code.

Installation

To install symparsepy, you need to build the package into a wheel file and then install it using pip. Follow these steps:

1. Install Maturin:

   pip install maturin

2. Build the Wheel: Run the following command in your terminal to build the wheel file:

   maturin build

   This will generate a .whl file in the target/wheels directory.

3. Install the Wheel: You can install the generated wheel file using pip:

   pip install target/wheels/symparsepy-0.1.0-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl

Usage

Here is an example of how to use symparsepy in your Python code:

Parsing PDB Files

The parse_pdb function parses symbols from a PDB file and returns a list of dictionaries, each containing the parsed symbol information.

import symparsepy

# Example usage
result = symparsepy.parse_pdb("path_to_pdb_file.pdb")
for symbol in result:
    print(symbol)

Each dictionary includes the following keys:

• offset: The offset value of the symbol.
• section: The section value of the symbol.
• name: The name of the symbol.
• code: Indicates if the symbol is code.
• msil: Indicates if the symbol is MSIL.
• function: Indicates if the symbol is a function.

Example Output

[
    {
        "offset": "421376",
        "section": "1",
        "name": "symbol_name",
        "code": "true",
        "msil": "false",
        "function": "true"
    },
    ...
]

Searching Symbols

The search_symbols function searches for symbols in a PDB file that match a given regex pattern and returns a list of dictionaries with the matching symbols.

import symparsepy

# Example usage
pattern = r"some_regex_pattern"
result = symparsepy.search_symbols("path_to_pdb_file.pdb", pattern)
for symbol in result:
    print(symbol)

Each dictionary includes the same keys as in the parse_pdb function.
