How much work is it to figure out which sections of the executable to export? Would it be realistic to be able to export a modern-ish (2008-2015) Win32 game into objects and then compile/link it into a full executable again with less t

It appears to also be called the "abstract machine"[1]. C semantics do not work "directly on the hardware" but instead on an abstract machine that is then converted to the actual hardware. It most often comes up when tal
