PDB import plugin prompting for user input when loading headlessly

[emesare]

I am attempting to generate WARP files headlessly and am using the example here.

When I run I get the following:

emesare@Masons-MacBook-Pro release % ./warp_headless -o vc9.warp /Users/emesare/Documents/VC/lib

After processing ~9000 files the worker threads finally are all halted waiting for me to provide input, this should not be the default behavior, I understand a headless binary can register an interaction handler, however that should not be required when simply loading a binary.

The code that spawns these prompts is:

binaryninja-api/plugins/pdb-ng/src/lib.rs

Lines 491 to 506 in 31ec051

	match ask.as_str() {
	"true" => {},
	"ask" => {
	if interaction::show_message_box(
	"No PDB Information",
	"This file does not look like it was compiled with a PDB, so your PDB might not correctly apply to the analysis. Do you want to load it anyway?",
	MessageBoxButtonSet::YesNoButtonSet,
	binaryninja::interaction::MessageBoxIcon::QuestionIcon
	) == MessageBoxButtonResult::NoButton {
	return Err(anyhow!("User cancelled missing info load"));
	}
	}
	_ => {
	return Err(anyhow!("File not compiled with PDB information"));
	}
