Throwing out sentences from ebooks you read about programming doesn't make you look like you know what you're talking about all of the sudden, you're still the same idiot who throw shit @ General Programming.

if you don't fucking know how a compiler works... (because you're too busy reading ebooks, 1337 hacker) then STFU and stay the fuck off.... (from everyone's heart)

Good bye. Smile

you're shit at programming stfu

But then the only question left is to know what you know about compilers and programming. I'm not saying that to be rude, I just wouldn't start demeaning others knowledge if I don't surpass it.

I'm flattered you thought something I wrote in a few minutes off the top of my head was lifted from a book. And uh although compiler design is not related to software engineering in the way you clearly believe, I actually wrote both a C compiler and disassembler engine which performs static analysis to generate CFGs as part of my Masters project.

Unfortunately I would prefer to keep these aspects of my life separated. Hope you understand. Perhaps one day if we got to know each other better.

Not enough good works on disassasemblers. I understand though.

It is difficult to find a good disassembler for Linux x86-32 and x86-64. During my project, we had very specific requirements. This was the motivation for writing a disassembler engine. Ultimately I wrote one on top of libopcodes. Similar to how libopdis works.

Was their any particularly useful reference you found while carrying out your research?

Slugsnack · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2012 5:47 am Post subject:

I extensively used the following books:
• Dragon Book (Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools)
• Linkers and loaders
• Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective (covers the basics)

Knew about the first two, Ill check out the third.

Also, thats a thing about disassembler and assemblers, most the texts seem to be quite dated.

you would be surprised how many of the concepts still apply/how little has changed. this makes sense since assembly language has not changed (with the exception of a few instructions added here and there) over time

what specifically are you interested in knowing about disassembling (and assembling)?

How long do you plan to stay?
