Closes the four remaining deferred follow-up items in one bundle.
All four are smaller-scope and additive; lockstep determinism
unaffected (analyzer-only changes).
## M9.5 — __CxxFrameHandler scope-table parsing
- New `xenia_analysis::eh_scope` module. Magic-scans .rdata for the
three documented MSVC FuncInfo signatures (0x19930520/21/22) on
4-byte alignment. Each match is parsed as the documented struct
(BE u32 fields), with sanity caps on max_state / n_try_blocks /
pointer validity.
- Walks pUnwindMap (UnwindMapEntry, 8 bytes) and pTryBlockMap
(TryBlockMapEntry, 20 bytes) into one row each.
- New tables eh_funcinfo, eh_unwind_map, eh_try_blocks.
- Sylpheed yield: 2,588 FuncInfo (all version 0x19930522) /
10,019 unwind entries / 315 try-blocks.
## M11.5 — Static-init driver chain detection
- New `xenia_analysis::static_init` module. Walks every function
looking for the canonical _initterm loop: lwz cursor; mtctr;
bcctrl; addi cursor, cursor, 4 bounded by a compare against another
constant register. Extracts (array_start, array_end) and reads
the array.
- Reuses `function_pointer_arrays` table — drivers' arrays land with
kind='static_init' (replacing M11's prologue-heuristic output where
the structurally-grounded pattern fires).
- Sylpheed yield: 0 drivers detected — the binary's static-init
structure does not match the canonical CRT loop. Infrastructure
ready; future M11.6 can relax.
## VMX vector-store xrefs (M6 follow-up)
- Adds AltiVec/VMX X-form load/store XOs to the M6 opcode-31
dispatch: lvx/lvxl/lvebx/lvehx/lvewx (reads) and
stvx/stvxl/stvebx/stvehx/stvewx (writes), all addr_mode=
'x_form_indexed'. Static resolution still requires both rA and rB
constant.
- Sylpheed yield: 110 newly-detected stvx writes.
## Shift_JIS + UTF-8 localised-string detection (M7 follow-up)
- Extends `xenia_analysis::strings::analyze` with scan_shift_jis (JIS
X 0208 lead/trail byte ranges + half-width katakana pass-through)
and scan_utf8 (2- and 3-byte sequences). At least one multi-byte
unit required so pure-ASCII strings aren't double-counted.
- SJIS bytes rendered as \xHH escapes for diagnostic readability;
full SJIS→UTF-8 decoding deferred.
- Sylpheed yield: 790 Shift_JIS strings (Japanese debug + UI text)
+ 39 UTF-8.
## Tests
- +2 EH (parses_minimal_funcinfo_v0, rejects_bogus_max_state)
- +2 static_init (detects_canonical_initterm_loop, rejects_function_without_pattern)
- +2 strings (detects_shift_jis_string, detects_utf8_multibyte_string)
Tests 649→655 (+6 unit tests). DB schema golden + write_analysis_results
signature updated for new EH parameter.

Closes the dominant case M5 could not resolve — `lwz vt, off(this);
lwz fn, slot(vt); mtctr; bcctrl` (real C++ dispatch). Implements
class-membership inference using constructor-side vptr writes as an
oracle for which vtables can land at each offset.
## Algorithm
Phase 1 — vptr-write scan: walk every function with the existing
lis+addi register tracker. When `stw rA, off(rB)` writes a known M3
vtable address into off(rB), record `(vtable_addr, vptr_offset,
writer_pc, writer_function)` as a constructor-side vptr write.
Phase 2 — invert by offset: `vtables_by_offset[off] = {V : V written
at off in any ctor}`.
Phase 3 — dispatch detection: from each `bcctrl LK=1`, walk back
≤16 instructions looking for the canonical chain. Bail on register
clobber, branch, or label (basic-block) boundary.
Phase 4 — edge emission: for `(dispatch_pc, vptr_off, slot)`, emit one
`xrefs.kind='ind_call'` row per vtable V where:
- `vtables_by_offset[vptr_off]` contains V, AND
- `V.length > slot` (V actually has a method at that slot)
Multi-candidate sites (the common case at offset 0) are an
over-approximation; downstream queries filter to single-candidate sites
for high confidence:
`WHERE candidate_count=1` in `indirect_dispatch_sites`.
## Schema
NEW TABLES:
- `vptr_writes(writer_pc, vtable_address, vptr_offset, writer_function)`
- `indirect_dispatch_sites(dispatch_pc PK, vptr_offset, slot, candidate_count)`
- `indirect_dispatch_candidates(dispatch_pc, vtable_address, method_address)`
NEW INDICES on vtable_address / vptr_offset / method_address /
(vptr_offset, slot) for fast joins.
## Sylpheed yield
- 567 vptr writes / 214 vtables / 29 offsets (offset 0 = 88%).
- 6,842 dispatch sites resolved: 97 single-candidate (high-confidence) +
6,745 multi-candidate.
- 687,963 ind_call xref rows.
- 2,746 newly-reachable functions via v_indirect_reachability_from_entry
(compared to 0 with M5 alone).
- Audit-009 cluster: functions including 0x823BC9E0, 0x823BC290,
0x823BC5A0, 0x823BB158 newly reachable — actionable for the
renderer-plateau hunt.
Tests 640→649 (+4 ind_dispatch_typed unit tests + 5 from tighter golden
expansion). Schema golden + write_analysis_results signature updated.

Adds finer-grained addressing-mode classification to every data xref row
plus new dispatch for instruction families not previously emitted:
- New `xrefs.addr_mode VARCHAR NULL` column. NULL for control-flow edges
(call / ind_call / j / br); one of d_form / lis_addi / lis_ori /
multiword / x_form_indexed / x_form_byterev / atomic / dcbz for data
edges. Index idx_xrefs_addr_mode.
- New `xenia_analysis::xref::AddrMode` enum + Xref::addr_mode field.
- Opcode 46/47 (lmw/stmw) expand to one xref per slot — D-form multi-word
load/store now resolves all (32-rS) consecutive addresses.
- Opcode 31 X-form dispatch — stwx/stbx/sthx/stwux/stbux/sthux/stdx/stdux,
lwzx/lbzx/lhzx/lhax/lwzux/lbzux/lhzux/lhaux/ldx/ldux,
stwcx./stdcx. (atomic),
stwbrx/sthbrx/lwbrx/lhbrx (byte-reverse),
dcbz (cache-line clear).
- X-form rows are emitted ONLY when both rA and rB resolve to known
constants (rare but present); the dominant runtime-indexed pattern
remains correctly skipped.
Sylpheed yield (regen on master + merge):
- 442 newly-detected x_form_indexed reads (lwzx/lhzx into static tables).
- 40 newly-detected atomic writes (stwcx./stdcx. with resolvable address).
- 28,834 lis_addi refs, 18,485 d_form reads, 3,288 d_form writes — every
pre-existing data row now tagged.
- 0 multiword / dcbz / byterev (these instructions exist but aren't on
lis+addi-tracked code paths).
Tests 633→636 (+3 xref unit tests covering AddrMode tag uniqueness,
data-edge addr_mode round-trip, control-edge None invariant). Schema
golden updated (xrefs gains addr_mode column).

Two MEDIUM milestones bundled (both opportunistic per plan; both small).
## M5 — indirect-dispatch reachability
- `xenia_analysis::indirect`: per-basic-block register tracker over each
detected function. Recognises the canonical static-vtable pattern
`lis+addi → lwz off(rA) → mtctr → bcctrl` where rA holds a known M3
vtable address. Emits one `Xref { kind: IndirectCall }` per resolvable
bcctrl site.
- PowerPC ABI awareness: `bl`-style calls clobber volatile r0..r12 + ctr
but preserve non-volatile r13..r31, so a vtable pointer parked in r30/r31
before a call survives.
- Label-based basic-block boundaries kill register state — bounds
false-positive risk for jump-IN paths.
- New `XrefKind::IndirectCall` variant (DB tag `'ind_call'`).
- New SQL view `v_indirect_reachability_from_entry` — strict superset of
`v_reachability_from_entry`, taking `ind_call` edges in the BFS.
Sylpheed yield: 0 edges detected. The binary's 1,001 static lis+addi
references into vtables are nearly all constructor-side vptr writes, not
dispatches; real method dispatch goes through `this->vptr` which requires
alias analysis we explicitly don't do. Documented in SCHEMA.md as the
expected limitation. Three unit tests cover the synthetic-correctness path.
## M7 — string / constant-pool detection
- `xenia_analysis::strings`: scans `.rdata` for runs of ≥ 6 printable
ASCII bytes (NUL-terminated) and ≥ 6 UTF-16LE code units (basic-plane
printable ASCII, NUL u16 terminator).
- New `strings(address PK, encoding, length, content)` table + encoding index.
- Implicit cross-ref via existing `xrefs.kind='ref'` rows whose target
matches a strings.address.
Sylpheed yield: 6,311 ASCII strings (including embedded HLSL shader source
and AS_CB_SURFACE_SWIZZLE_* assertion strings). 9,132 lis+addi sites
cross-reference detected strings — names source PCs near each string in
one query. Four unit tests cover encoding detection, NUL termination, and
short-run rejection.
Tests 626→633 (+3 indirect, +4 strings).

The old src/ppc.rs that re-implemented PPC formatting collapses into
a 30-line shim that delegates to xenia-cpu's single-source-of-truth
disasm. A new disasm.rs wraps the shared iterator and feeds enriched
items (analysis context: function membership, xrefs, mnemonics) into
pluggable sinks.
Sinks split: text.rs (objdump-like output), json.rs (JSONL stream
matching the new xenia dis --json mode), duckdb.rs (the analysis DB
ingest). db.rs is restructured into ingest_instructions +
write_analysis_results so a run can stop after raw ingest, and a new
target_hex column lands on the instructions table. sql_views.rs adds
five additive views layered on top of the raw tables.
Tests: assert-based JSON-fixture goldens (disasm_goldens) and a
PRAGMA-table_info schema golden (db_schema_golden) covering all
ingested tables and the SQL views.
