type annotations for IDA plugin

Open williballenthin opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

the IDA plugin code does not have many type annotations because it was written before we migrated to using py3-style type annotations. for the same reasons we use type annotations elsewhere, we should consider adding type annotations to the IDA plugin source, too.

we could use something like monkeytype to automatically generate the annotations given a runtime trace of the code.

I was going through this when i encountered the issue that packages like idac and idaapi are not installed in my system. Do i need IDA Pro for it?

manasghandat avatar Mar 12 '23 13:03 manasghandat

That’s correct, those imports are for the IDA API that’s only available within IDA Pro.

Can you please suggest me some issue where I wont need IDA Pro.
