class BinaryDataNotification:
	"""
	``class BinaryDataNotification`` provides an interface for receiving event notifications. Usage requires inheriting
	from this interface, overriding the relevant event handlers, and registering the `BinaryDataNotification` instance
	with a `BinaryView` using the `register_notification` method.

	By default, a `BinaryDataNotification` instance receives notifications for all available notification types. It
	is recommended for users of this interface to initialize the `BinaryDataNotification` base class with specific
	callbacks of interest by passing the appropriate `NotificationType` flags into the `__init__` constructor.

	Handlers provided by the user should aim to limit the amount of processing within the callback. The
	callback context holds a global lock, preventing other threads from making progress during the callback phase.
	While most of the API can be used safely during this time, care must be taken when issuing a call that can block,
	as waiting for a thread requiring the global lock can result in deadlock.

	The `NotificationBarrier` is a special `NotificationType` that is disabled by default. To enable it, the
	`NotificationBarrier` flag must be passed to `__init__`. This notification is designed to facilitate efficient
	batch processing of other notification types. The idea is to collect other notifications of interest into a cache,
	which can be very efficient as it doesn't require additional locks. After some time, the core generates a
	`NotificationBarrier` event, providing a safe context to move the cache for processing by a different thread.

	To control the time of the next `NotificationBarrier` event, return the desired number of milliseconds until
	the next event from the `NotificationBarrier` callback. Returning zero quiesces future `NotificationBarrier`
	events. If the `NotificationBarrier` is quiesced, the reception of a new callback of interest automatically
	generates a new `NotificationBarrier` call after that notification is delivered. This mechanism effectively
	allows throttling and quiescing when necessary.

	.. note:: Note that the core generates a `NotificationBarrier` as part of the `BinaryDataNotification` registration \
	process. Registering the same `BinaryDataNotification` instance again results in a gratuitous `NotificationBarrier` \
	event, which can be useful in situations requiring a safe context for processing due to some other asynchronous \
	event (e.g., user interaction).

	:Example:

	>>> class NotifyTest(binaryninja.BinaryDataNotification):
	... 	def __init__(self):
	... 		super(NotifyTest, self).__init__(binaryninja.NotificationType.NotificationBarrier | binaryninja.NotificationType.FunctionLifetime | binaryninja.NotificationType.FunctionUpdated)
	... 		self.received_event = False
	... 	def notification_barrier(self, view: 'BinaryView') -> int:
	... 		has_events = self.received_event
	... 		self.received_event = False
	... 		log_info("notification_barrier")
	... 		if has_events:
	... 			return 250
	... 		else:
	... 			return 0

	"""
	The ``BinaryViewEvent`` object provides a mechanism for receiving callbacks	when a BinaryView
	is Finalized or the initial analysis is finished. The BinaryView finalized callbacks run before the
	initial analysis starts. The callbacks run one-after-another in the same order as they get registered.
	It is a good place to modify the BinaryView to add extra information to it.

	For newly opened binaries, the initial analysis completion callbacks run after the initial analysis,
	as well as linear sweep	and signature matcher (if they are configured to run), completed. For loading
	old databases, the callbacks run after the database is loaded, as well as any automatic analysis
	update finishes.

	The callback function receives a BinaryView as its parameter. It is possible to call
	BinaryView.add_analysis_completion_event() on it to set up other callbacks for analysis completion.

	:Example:
		>>> def callback(bv):
		... 	print('start: 0x%x' % bv.start)

class MemoryMap:
	r"""
		The MemoryMap object provides access to the system-level memory map describing how a BinaryView is loaded
		into memory. Each BinaryView exposes its portion of the MemoryMap through the Segments defined within that view.

		**Architecture Note:** This Python MemoryMap object is a proxy that accesses the BinaryView's current
		MemoryMap state through the FFI boundary. The proxy provides a simple mutable interface: when you call
		modification operations (``add_memory_region``, ``remove_memory_region``, etc.), the proxy automatically
		accesses the updated MemoryMap. Internally, the core uses immutable copy-on-write data structures, but
		the proxy abstracts this away.

		When you access ``view.memory_map``, you always see the current state. For lock-free access during analysis,
		AnalysisContext provides memory layout query methods (``is_valid_offset()``, ``is_offset_readable()``,
		``get_start()``, ``get_length()``, etc.) that operate on an immutable snapshot of the MemoryMap cached when
		the analysis was initiated.

		A MemoryMap can contain multiple, arbitrarily overlapping memory regions. When modified, address space
		segmentation is automatically managed. If multiple regions overlap, the most recently added region takes
		precedence by default.

		All MemoryMap APIs support undo and redo operations. During BinaryView::Init, these APIs should be used conditionally:

		* Initial load: Use the MemoryMap APIs to define the memory regions that compose the system.
		* Database load: Do not use the MemoryMap APIs, as the regions are already persisted and will be restored automatically.

		This conditional usage prevents redundant operations and ensures database consistency. Using these APIs when loading
		from a database will also mark the analysis as modified, which is undesirable.

		Adds a memory region to the memory map. Depending on the source parameter, the memory region is created as one of the following types:

		- **RemoteMemoryRegion**: Ephemeral memory region via FileAccessor.
		- **UnbackedMemoryRegion**: Region not backed by any data source (requires `length` to be set).

		The `source` parameter determines the type:

			- `os.PathLike` or `str`: File path to be loaded into memory as a `DataMemoryRegion`.
			- `bytes` or `bytearray`: Directly loaded into memory as a `DataMemoryRegion`.
			- `databuffer.DataBuffer`: Loaded as a `DataMemoryRegion`.
			- `fileaccessor.FileAccessor`: Remote proxy source.
			- `BinaryView`: (Reserved for future).
			- `None`: Creates an unbacked memory region (must specify `length`).

		.. note:: If no flags are specified and the new memory region overlaps with one or more existing regions, the overlapping portions of the new region will inherit the flags of the respective underlying regions.

		Parameters:
			name (str): A unique name for the memory region.
			start (int): Starting address.
			source (Optional[Union[os.PathLike, str, bytes, bytearray, BinaryView, databuffer.DataBuffer, fileaccessor.FileAccessor]]): Source of data or `None` for unbacked.
			length (Optional[int]): Required if source is None (unbacked).
			flags (SegmentFlag): Flags to apply to the memory region. Defaults to 0 (no flags).
			fill (int): Fill byte for unbacked regions. Defaults to 0.

class BinaryView:
	"""
	``class BinaryView`` implements a view on binary data, and presents a queryable interface of a binary file. One key
	job of BinaryView is file format parsing which allows Binary Ninja to read, write, insert, remove portions
	of the file given a virtual address. For the purposes of this documentation we define a virtual address as the
	memory address that the various pieces of the physical file will be loaded at.

	A binary file does not have to have just one BinaryView, thus much of the interface to manipulate disassembly exists
	within or is accessed through a BinaryView. All files are guaranteed to have at least the ``Raw`` BinaryView. The
	``Raw`` BinaryView is simply a hex editor, but is helpful for manipulating binary files via their absolute addresses.

	BinaryViews are plugins and thus registered with Binary Ninja at startup, and thus should **never** be instantiated
	directly as this is already done. The list of available BinaryViews can be seen in the BinaryViewType class which
	provides an iterator and map of the various installed BinaryViews::

		>>> list(BinaryViewType)
		[<view type: 'Raw'>, <view type: 'ELF'>, <view type: 'Mach-O'>, <view type: 'PE'>]
		>>> BinaryViewType['ELF']
		<view type: 'ELF'>

	To open a file with a given BinaryView the following code is recommended:

		>>> with load("/bin/ls") as bv:
		...   bv
		<BinaryView: '/bin/ls', start 0x100000000, len 0x142c8>

	`By convention in the rest of this document we will use bv to mean an open and, analyzed, BinaryView of an executable file.`
	When a BinaryView is open on an executable view analysis is automatically run unless specific named parameters are used
	to disable updates. If such a parameter is used, updates can be triggered using the :py:func:`update_analysis_and_wait` method
	which disassembles the executable and returns when all disassembly and analysis is complete::

		>>> bv.update_analysis_and_wait()
		>>>

	Since BinaryNinja's analysis is multi-threaded (depending on version) this can also be done in the background
	by using the :py:func:`update_analysis` method instead.

	By standard python convention methods which start with '_' should be considered private and should not
	be called externally. Additionally, methods which begin with ``perform_`` should not be called directly
	either and are used explicitly for subclassing a BinaryView.

	.. note:: An important note on the ``*_user_*()`` methods. Binary Ninja makes a distinction between edits \
	performed by the user and actions performed by auto analysis. Auto analysis actions that can quickly be recalculated \
	are not saved to the database. Auto analysis actions that take a long time and all user edits are stored in the \
	database (e.g. :py:func:`remove_user_function` rather than :py:func:`remove_function`). Thus use ``_user_`` methods if saving \
	to the database is desired.

		``load`` opens, generates default load options (which are overridable), and returns the first available \
		:py:class:`BinaryView`. If no :py:class:`BinaryViewType` is available, then a ``Mapped`` :py:class:`BinaryViewType` is used to load \
		the :py:class:`BinaryView` with the specified load options. The ``Mapped`` view type attempts to auto-detect the architecture of the \
		file during initialization. If no architecture is detected or specified in the load options, then the ``Mapped`` view type fails to \
		initialize and returns ``None``.

		.. note:: Container file support enables automatic extraction from container formats such as Universal (Fat) Mach-O archives. \
		The architecture preference for Universal archives can be controlled with the **'files.universal.architecturePreference'** setting. \
		When set, the first matching architecture is automatically selected for loading. When unset, headless operation defaults to the \
		first available architecture, while interactive operation presents all available architectures for selection. \
		This setting is scoped to SettingsUserScope and can be modified as follows ::

			>>> Settings().set_string_list("files.universal.architecturePreference", ["arm64"])

		It's also possible to specify the architecture preference directly with :py:func:`load` ::

			>>> bv = binaryninja.load('/bin/ls', options={'files.universal.architecturePreference': ['arm64']})

		.. warning:: The recommended code pattern for opening a BinaryView is to use the \
		:py:func:`~binaryninja.load` API as a context manager like ``with load('/bin/ls') as bv:`` \
		which will automatically clean up when done with the view. If using this API directly \
		you will need to call `bv.file.close()` before the BinaryView leaves scope to ensure the \
		reference is properly removed and prevents memory leaks.

		:param bool update_analysis: whether or not to run :py:func:`~BinaryView.update_analysis_and_wait` after opening a :py:class:`BinaryView`, defaults to ``True``
		:param callback progress_func: optional function to be called with the current progress and total count

		Evaluates a string expression to an integer value.

		The parser uses the following rules:

			- Symbols are defined by the lexer as ``[A-Za-z0-9_:<>][A-Za-z0-9_:$\-<>]+`` or anything enclosed in either single or double quotes
			- Symbols are everything in ``bv.symbols``, unnamed DataVariables (i.e. ``data_00005000``), unnamed functions (i.e. ``sub_00005000``), or section names (i.e. ``.text``)
			- Numbers are defaulted to hexadecimal thus `_printf + 10` is equivalent to `printf + 0x10` If decimal numbers required use the decimal prefix.
			- Since numbers and symbols can be ambiguous its recommended that you prefix your numbers with the following:

				- ``0x`` - Hexadecimal
				- ``0n`` - Decimal
				- ``0`` - Octal

			- In the case of an ambiguous number/symbol (one with no prefix) for instance ``12345`` we will first attempt
			  to look up the string as a symbol, if a symbol is found its address is used, otherwise we attempt to convert
			  it to a hexadecimal number.
			- The following operations are valid: ``+, -, \*, /, %, (), &, \|, ^, ~, ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=``

				- Comparison operators return 1 if the condition is true, 0 otherwise.

			- In addition to the above operators there are dereference operators similar to BNIL style IL:

				- ``[<expression>]`` - read the `current address size` at ``<expression>``
				- ``[<expression>].b`` - read the byte at ``<expression>``
				- ``[<expression>].w`` - read the word (2 bytes) at ``<expression>``
				- ``[<expression>].d`` - read the dword (4 bytes) at ``<expression>``
				- ``[<expression>].q`` - read the quadword (8 bytes) at ``<expression>``

			- The ``$here`` (or more succinctly: ``$``) keyword can be used in calculations and is defined as the ``here`` parameter, or the currently selected address
			- The ``$start``/``$end`` keyword represents the address of the first/last bytes in the file respectively
			- Arbitrary magic values (name-value-pairs) can be added to the expression parser via the
			  :py:func:`add_expression_parser_magic_value` API. Notably, the debugger adds all register values into the
			  expression parser so they can be used directly when navigating. The register values can be referenced like
			  `$rbp`, `$x0`, etc. For more details, refer to the related
			  `debugger docs <https://docs.binary.ninja/guide/debugger/index.html#navigating-the-binary>`_.
