Introduction

This guide provides information about what has been changed in the IDAPython API between IDA 8.4 and 9.0.

The largest change is due to the removal of two modules:

• ida_struct
• ida_enum

For years now, those 2 modules have been superseded by the ida_typeinf module, which offers similar functionality.

In case you are not familiar with ida_typeinf's main concepts, we recommend having a look at them first.

ida_struct

• ida_struct structures were accessed mostly through their index (or ID), while ida_typeinf adopts another approach using type names (or ordinals). Consequently, the notion of "structure index" bears less importance, and doesn't have a direct alternative.
• many ida_struct.get_struc_* operations were accepting a tid_t. While the notion of tid_t is still present in IDA 9.0, it is not part of identifying a type anymore (a type is now identified either by its name, or its ordinal). The notion of tid_t is mostly used to "bind" types to data & functions in the IDB. For example, calling ida_nalt.get_strid(address) will return you such a tid_t. From a tid_t, you can load the corresponding tinfo_t object by using tinfo_t(tid=id).

Removed functions:

The table below provides alternatives to the functions that have been removed in IDA 9.0.

    return count

is_special_member

The following code can be used as an example of how to replace ida_struct.is_special_member.

def is_special_member(member_id):
    tif = ida_typeing.tinfo_t()
    udm = ida_typeinf.udm_t()
    if tif.get_udm_by_tid(udm, member_id) != -1:
        return udm.is_special_member()
