Description

Version and Platform (required):

  • Binary Ninja Version: 3.1-dev

We currently have Function.get_llil_at() but no equivalent for mlil or hlil which is confusing.

The workaround is Function.get_llil_at(here).mlil

Research direction

Start by locating Function.get_llil_at() in the Binary Ninja API and review how it exposes the LLIL view. Add corresponding get_mlil_at() and get_hlil_at() methods, preserving the behavior implied by the existing workaround through get_llil_at(here).mlil. Done means both methods are available directly from Function.
