IDA function reference count to comment plug-in
It dawned on me the other day that because of how I think when I do reversing that seeing how many times a function is referenced would be useful information.
If I could just glean this off the screen rather then manually pressing ‘X’ and count summarizing each sub-function while within a function then that might save me a lot of time and energy.
As I am reversing a particular function it’s local functions are probably of more significance then ones that are not.
If I see a count of ‘1’ then I can assume it is local (although this might not be 100% true as there could be some error in my IDB that is missing one or more references).
Otherwise if I see a function with many references then I can make some assumptions about it’s nature too.
