IDA 8.4.240320 (8.4sp1)

This Service Pack of IDA 8.4 is primarily a bugfix release.

Improvements:​

  • + PC: improve AVX-512 instructions support (BF16, BITALG, FP16, GFNI, VBMI2, VNNI, VP2INTERSECT, VPCLMULQDQ)
  • + TEAMS: don't match types from LOCAL and REMOTE databases by ordinal if they're not present in BASE
  • + UI: renamed 'Copy struct type' action to 'Duplicate struct type' to better represent its behavior

Bugfixes​

  • BUGFIX: cvt64: some ASM struct member records were not handled when convering .idb to .i64
  • BUGFIX: debugger: "Disable ASLR" didn't behave properly in UI on Windows
  • BUGFIX: decompiler: fixed interr 50898 when editing structure member types from Pseudocode view
  • BUGFIX: eh_parse: loading PE files with functions having 0 unwind codes could cause IDA to crash on macOS
  • BUGFIX: ELF: relocations were sometimes not processed for PIE files without dynamic symbols
  • BUGFIX: golang: loading files with corrupted metadata could lead to hanging/frozen IDA
  • BUGFIX: IDA could crash if decompiler intialization failed for current database

  • BUGFIX: PDB: IDA could produce "Failed to calculate struct member alignment" and "the maximum recursion level was reached" warnings on large PDBs
  • BUGFIX: plugins: correctly pass the argument from plugins.cfg to plugmod_t::run when there are no flags defined for the entry
  • BUGFIX: teams: fixed interr 1846 in some situations
  • BUGFIX: teams: fixed multiple issues when merging types
  • BUGFIX: teams: hvui: in Local files and Vault files the first line could be empty after opening
  • BUGFIX: teams: it was possible to edit types in Local Types during merging, which could lead to corrupted idb
  • BUGFIX: TRICORE: not16 instruction was being incorrectly disassembled as nor16
  • BUGFIX: UI: correcly retrieve library name for custom signatures files
  • BUGFIX: UI: fixed several cases where IDA would open the deprecated Structures view instead of Local Types
