- userbinator 10y agoI was also a bit disappointed to see that, since a decompiler is far more interesting (and complex). But decompilation involves disassembly (in particular, one that follows the execution flow) so at least it's a start... As discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9321698 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9321698 , "write a disassembler at least once" is a good exercise and not particularly hard even for x86, because a lot of the instructions follow common patterns (easier to see in octal.)
