Hi, I worked on a very basic C decompiler during my undergrad. Somehow I moved on to other stuff and left the project. Today I was just browsing through my old code and came across it and all the reference material I collected for it. Now I again feel the urge to restart my project (I hope the urge stays long enough :P ). Just wanted to know if there are any fellow HNers interested in decompiler stuff .

May not help, but based on this (even though it is a few years old): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/193896/whats-a-good-c-dec...

You may want to look at joining up with these guys (this looks fairly interesting): http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/

Or these guys: http://www.hex-rays.com/decompiler.shtml

(btw- I am more into Java decompiling (as a user). For Java, I've used Jad but it looks like there are a few others: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31353/is-jad-the-best-jav... and a number of people like JD: http://java.decompiler.free.fr/ )

Hi devmonk, Thanks for the useful reply. I actually did check with Boomerang guys during my undergrad days. Boomerang project has been there for quite sometime and it is great stuff. But as far as I remember the guys who worked on it eventually moved on to other stuff. I will have to check if someone is still running this project.
