Limitations

The decompiler comes in two different flavors:

• x86 decompiler (32-bit code)
• ARM decompiler

Currently the decompiler can handle compiler generated code. Manually crafted code may be decompiled too but the results are usually worse than for compiler code. Support for other processors and 64-bit code will eventually be added (no deadlines are available, sorry). when exactly_.

Below are the most important limitations of our decompilers (all processors):

• exception handling is not supported
• type recovery is not performed
• global program analysis is not performed

Limitations specific to x86:

• 16-bit programs are not analyzed

Limitations specific to ARM:

• floating point instructions are not supported
• VFP/SIMD/Neon/... instructions are not supported
• arguments passed partially on registers and partially on the stack are not supported
