## What it is
HexRaysCodeXplorer is a Hex-Rays Decompiler plugin written in C++ that improves code navigation during reverse engineering. It automates reconstruction of C++ object types and adds context-menu commands to IDA's Pseudocode window.

## Use cases
- reconstruct C++ object types in decompiled code
- navigate decompiled pseudocode of malware more easily
- analyze modern malware like Stuxnet or Flame in IDA
- improve code navigation in Hex-Rays decompiler output
- reverse engineer C++ applications in IDA Pro

## When to choose
- you use IDA Pro with Hex-Rays Decompiler and need better C++ type reconstruction
- you analyze modern C++ malware and want automated object type recovery
- you want a mature, actively maintained decompiler plugin with cross-platform support

## When to avoid
- you don't own Hex-Rays Decompiler or IDA Pro
- you need a Python-based IDA plugin for easy customization
- you need guaranteed stability on older IDA versions, since only the latest are tested
