Raising binaries to LLVM IR with MCTOLL (WIP paper)
S. Bharadwaj Yadavalli, Aaron Smith · 2019
The need to analyze and execute binaries from legacy ISAs on new or different ISAs has been addressed in a variety of ways over the past few decades. Solutions using complementary static and dynamic binary translation techniques have been deployed in most real-world situations. As new ISAs are designed and legacy ISAs re-examined, the need for binary translation infrastructure re-emerges, and needs to be re- engineered all over again.
