Failure understanding x86 segmentation and example

[Wall-AF]

Ah. Ghidra doesn't support segments in 32-bit code very well; the current SLEIGH language doesn't model segment selectors for memory accesses in 32-bit mode (only in 16-bit mode). A variant of the language would have to be created to get it to follow segments properly.

The 16-bit mode does track selector values through function bodies if you get the segments and selectors set up right.

Looking at the comment above @caheckman, will you elaborate on how exactly please?

I have included a perfect example where Ghidra fails to understand segments and their use here.
