Last time I checked x86 decompilers were not that useful.
They were producing code that is not compilable, often completely failing on more complex, translating code compiler boilerplate into code.
This was a while ago so maybe things improved since then.
- dllthomas 7y agoThe goal here is some window into "what changed". For that, we don't need "compilable", and boilerplate won't be an issue provided it's stable (by no means guaranteed, to be sure). If I had to bet at even odds, I'd bet against it being useful. But the win is potentially large and the effort isn't.
