loads ELF, PE, MZ and Amiga binaries

has support for i386 and m68k

has a GUI

contains over 20 different passes which are executed for a total of about 50 times to produce correct and compact source code

uses SSA (single static assignment) as its internal main data structure

cope with functions which use a framepointer as well as functions without one

supports a variety of user input to specify for example extra non-code areas in the binary, volatile memory locations or function signatures

the function signatures go beyond the classical signatures of C by allowing for example to specify multiple result values in multiple registers, passing flag registers or stack changes

requires Java 6 to run

Limitations

A decompiler usually assumes a static non-changing program: self-modifying code is also not not supported by holdec. The implemented type system is currently in a non-working condition and only basic type information (operand size in bytes and signedness).

Future

As there are always ways to improve the holdec decompiler is not finished. Currently planned are FPU and SIMD support, improved naming of functions and variables. ]]>
