percent.py

The percent script simulates the % key in VI command mode, more stack memory items. Basically this means that for a push, this makes you jump to the associated pop. For a call, this makes you jump to the corresponding ret, and so on.

This will demonstrate the use of the following services:

• run_get_running_context_between
• memory_get_physical_address
• memory_get_history_between
• run_search_next_memory_use
• run_search_next_register_use

It is built as an Axion script, so this also shows the use of a callback in Axion.
