Eject IDB v0.0.4

eject_idb v0.0.4 — maintenance release

eject_idb is an emergency IDB saver. It runs a background thread that waits for an external signal and
saves your database when IDA hangs or crashes, so you don't lose your work.

What's new

• 🐧🍎 Linux and macOS now work end-to-end. The plugin↔signaler channel was rebuilt on a portable named
  semaphore, fixing the POSIX naming issue that kept previous builds from connecting outside Windows.
• 🖥️ Per-platform behavior after the emergency save:
  • Windows (unchanged): a dialog offers to forcefully exit IDA.
  • Linux/macOS: no dialog (IDA's UI is presumed hung) — the plugin prints the ejected path and a
    kill -9 <pid> hint to the terminal IDA was launched from; kill IDA manually.
• 📦 Installable via the IDA Plugin Manager (hcli) — each eject_plugin-v0.0.4-ida9.x.zip is a
  ready-to-install package, validated across IDA 9.2, 9.3, 9.4.
• 🛠️ Now builds on libidacpp (auto-fetched).

Install — plugin

Use the IDA Plugin Manager, or install manually: download
eject_plugin-v0.0.4-ida<your-IDA-version>.zip and extract it into your IDA plugins folder.

Standalone tool

eject_idb-tools-v0.0.4.zip contains the standalone signaler for every platform
(eject_idb-<os>-<arch>[.exe]) — pick the one matching your OS/arch and run
eject_idb "<full path to your idb>" to trigger the save from outside IDA.

Notes

• ARM64 (Windows/Linux): plugin binaries are bundled inside the zips as eject_plugin_aarch64.*. The
  Plugin Manager doesn't auto-select them yet (tracking HexRaysSA/ida-hcli#209) — install manually on ARM64.
• The IDB path passed to the signaler must match IDA's exactly (full path).
