FLIRT progress

Last semester, my goal was to get a working FLIRT implemetnation up and running. However, with it being my most intense semester to date, I didn't get as far as I wanted Most of the work involved code fixes and some crude code fixes to the Red Plait (rpat) pattern generator.
Really though, rpat needed a full rewrite to be truly useful in my project. While I could have maintained in its original C form, I really would rather have had a highly functionalized version using STL data structures. As of commit e719d6ddba27bf1fa4d1ace18d3426a356d19fa5, this is done. Example output:

Which seems consistent with the assembly:

However, the correctness of this won't be known until I actually try processing it. This version should be much easier to maintain and be more stable. There are some assorted points to fix, but it was definitely a step in the right direction. Next steps will be to implement pattern generation for libuvudec based disassembling and verify FLAIR's makesig produces the same output and/or is valid for input to pat2sig. One of the challenges I will of course face is how to support all of the architectures. I'm thinking the best way will be for any arch IDA does not support, I'll put a different magic number at the start of the file and add a new architecture field
Part of the reason I got working on this again is someone pointed out to me someone posted the .sig binary format here. I was hoping to do this last semester, but mostly due to time constraints, didn't get to it. With the format out there now, it will be much easier to implement a pat2sig equivalent and the matching loader.
Finally, I made a quick stab at a Qt GUI:
All it does is display the function list. I was trying to figure out how to get the window to resize to fit the whole screen but needs more work. I don't have a lot of GUI experience, so there will be a learning curve to get things decent. Hopefully though, if this project becomes popular, it shouldn't be too hard for someone to design something better and swap it out. The major issue that became readily apparent is the engine is currently designed for one shot analysis. It cannot respond to annotations. Thus, some sort of analysis event system will have to be implemented. This will be important for plugins as well as they may need to respond to various engine events if they want to do more than just respond to keystrokes. In the near future for the GUI, I'd like to:
-Get the window to resize correctly
-Display a dead listing
-Ability to double click on functions and have that location appear in the dead listing
Next:
-Write comments
-Load and save a workspace (I briefly toyed with this)
-Load FLIRT signatures. This may be sooner than later as I'm currently writing uvpat2sig which will mean I'll have at least most of first revision signature engine up.
