DecompileBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating Decompilers in Real-World Scenarios (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches focus on syntactic correctness through synthetic micro-benchmarks or subjective human ratings, despite semantic fidelity and usability. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that enables effective evaluation of decompilers in reverse engineering workflows . they compare six industrial-strength decompils and six recent LLM-powered approaches . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms commercial tools in code understandability despite lower functionality correctness . it shows that it can transform human-centric reverse engineering workflows . |
