[IDA Pro] Fast way to get all xrefsto (no filthy WinGraph32)

I played a bit with IDAPython, it's quite simple to print all references to a specific function:

Make a file called dumpxrefs.py and edit the address as you need:

Code:

---

for xref in XrefsTo(0x080681A4, flags=0):
    print xref.type, XrefTypeName(xref.type),                          'from', hex(xref.frm), 'to', hex(xref.to)

---

Or more dynamic, set a dialog to input the address when you call the script:

Code:

---

for xref in XrefsTo(idaapi.askaddr(0, "Enter target address"), flags=0):
    print xref.type, XrefTypeName(xref.type), 'from', hex(xref.frm), 'to', hex(xref.to)

---

Open the file from this menu (meh, shorter way: File -> Python file...):

Then just select dumpxrefs.py in the File Dialog and it will run, printing this in the console:

You can copy the result then and paste it in your serious_insights_about_my_current_project.txt, because these xrefs are (at least for me) often the most important hints to get further clues about something.

Oops, "File -> Python file..." is much faster.
