Converting Machine code to LLVM IR

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

Hi everyone,

There are tools to convert machine code to an assembly language.
Is there any similar tool to convert X86 machine code to LLVM IR?

thanks in advance

No, sorry. While it wouldn't be impossible to write one, it would be a
fairly complex transformation — as complex as a proper decompiler
if it made any effort to create reasonable IR.

There was a Google Summer of Code Project to get Xemu to use LLVM IR. IIRC, it had pre-constructed IR for each native code instruction that could be stitched together when performing native code to LLVM IR translation.

I don't know where to find this project or what came of it. You can try searching the LLVM web page for a link to it or searching the llvmdev archives.
