Im curious, since it seems to be mostly about walking back the one-way-street of C++ to assembly, what’s stopping us from training a ML model to help with decompilation by figuring out patterns in the compilation process? (there has to be a reason, otherwise someone would have done it already)
- esrauch 3y agoThe answer is that people have done it, ML guided decompilation is an active area.
- Eisenstein 3y agoI just tried with Claude Opus. 1. Write hello.cpp 2. Compile 3. Disassemble to asm with objdump -d 4. Give asm to Claude and ask it to write the C++ code that would result in that asm 5. Got back hello world in c++ So, it seems you might not need a specially trained model. Original: #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl; return 0; } Reproduced: #include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl; return 0; } asm: https://pastebin.com/SswUSh0u https://pastebin.com/SswUSh0u * https://imgur.com/U1wbb0d https://imgur.com/U1wbb0d
