how to get static variables with ./analyzeHeadless (python api)

[Ruturaj4]

I have a simple code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  static   char buf[10] = "";


  /*  OK  */
  buf[9] = 'A';


  return 0;
}

I am using ghidra python api to get the variables used. Something like:

function.getStackFrame().getStackVariables()

But, buffer buf doesn't show up (it shows up in the ghidra gui, in the code disassembly section). Is there any way to get these using python api? My guess is that, as it is defined static it doesn't show up.

Edit:

I found that these variables are defined in the namespaces. So, in the case, buf is defined in namespaces->main->buf. I was able to get the namespace for the function - currentProgram.getSymbolTable().getNamespace(entrypoint), but was not able to find the variables.

The main issue here is Buf lives in a different section and is a global variable, so you wouldn't expect to find it in local variables.

from ghidra.program.model.symbol import RefType

listing = currentProgram.getListing()
function = getFunctionContaining(currentAddress)

# Iterate over all instructions in the function
instructions = listing.getInstructions(function.getBody(), True)

for instr in instructions:
    for i in range(instr.getNumOperands()):
        refs = instr.getOperandReferences(i)
        for ref in refs:
            # We're interested in memory read/write references
            if ref.getReferenceType().isData():
                target = ref.getToAddress()
                # Filter by section (global data is usually not in the stack)
                if not target.isStackAddress():
                    print("{} -> references global data at {}".format(instr.getAddress(), target))
