Third-party plugins

Below is the list of noteworthy public third-party plugins for the decompiler.

• Hex-Rays Superfluous Local Variable Plugin by Joshua J. Drake, iDefense Labs

  This plugin allows for the removal of superfluous local variables. Sometimes the decompiler generates a variable that is assigned only once. It does so because it can not prove that the assigned value is not modified between the assigment and use. This plugin allows the user to point to superfluous assignments and remove them from the listing, thus making it shorter and easier to read. The plugin comes with a very readable and nice source code.
