Generic Plugin-Based Converter of Object File Formats and Its Usage in Retargetable Decompilation
Original language description
The objective of a decompiler (i.e. reverse compiler) is to translate a binary file into a high level language (HLL) representation. One of the preliminary tasks of retargetable decompilation is to handle different platform-specific object file formats on its input. This paper presents a concept of a generic object file format converter, which supports conversions between several commonly used object file formats (e.g. ELF, PE) and the LOFF format, which is used in the Lissom project. The basic information about algorithms manipulating these formats is described. The conversion is done by mapping all critical information from one format structure to another. The conversion from the common formats into the LOFF format is important for the Lissom retargetable decompiler because the LOFF format is used for its internal code representation. However, we also briefly describe utilization of an opposite conversion in the Lissom project. The result is a plugin-based application capable of crea
