Is the decompiled code guaranteed to be equivalent to the compiled code? While this might be cool it doesn't seem that useful if you can't reason about the correctness of the output. I skimmed the README and didn't manage to figure it out
From my understanding, it trys to tackle the hardest part, getting from Assembly back to something human readable and not necessarily compilable out the gate
A large part of the tedious and intensive process of decompilation is just figuring out what chunks in ASM do what and working it out to named functions and variables
But aren't there already tools that turn asm into matching C? Why not do that first and only use the LLM to name variables and functions without affecting code structure?
