Support For Binary Ninja about ret-sync

[bootleg]

Hi @the-wondersmith

thanks for the nice feedback.

Regarding Binary Ninja, I've never had the opportunity (I may have access to an old one) to use it so far thus I may be out off topic. Here are a couple of ideas though.

Depending on how Binary Ninja handles multiples input files (binaries) the design of the plugin may differ a little. For IDA I've used a dispatcher in front of the IDA instances. Whereas for Ghidra I've used an internal feature of the tool (ProgramManager). There are some pros&cons (for example it implies to load all binaries in the same Ghidra's workspace and window).

Once that point is set. I'd say you only need a couple of features. You may look at the Ghidra plugin which is more cleaner and more modular. Sweeping over the files, basically the kind of features you'd need are:

• ListenerBackground.java: a persistent TPC server receiving request from debugger clients
• LocalColorizerService.java: a way to interact with the code UI (disassembler/decompiler UI), setting position/highlight)
• RequestHandler.java: dissecting requests (basically a tag + json) you'd need to handle a handful of them at first (new_dbg, module, loc)
• RetSyncComponent.java: a way to insert into the UI of the tool (widget, etc.)
• RetSyncPlugin.java: plugin backbone, registering commands, etc.

best regards.

Work in progress. I can share access to an alpha on request (see email in CREDITS).

Closing this one as it is now pushed. Let's open separated issues for bugs.
