Remill is a C++ library that statically translates machine code instructions (x86, amd64, AArch64, SPARC32/64) into LLVM bitcode. It is designed as a building block for other binary lifting tools such as McSema.
Use cases
- lift machine code to llvm bitcode
- translate x86 binaries to llvm ir
- analyze instruction semantics of arm binaries
- build a binary translator tool
- decompile native code into llvm for analysis
- lift aarch64 instructions for program analysis
When to choose
- you need accurate per-instruction lifting of machine code into LLVM bitcode
- you are building binary analysis or translation tools like McSema
- you need support for x86/AVX512, AArch64, or SPARC instruction semantics
When to avoid
- you want a ready-to-use decompiler with a UI rather than a library
- you need dynamic translation or emulation rather than static lifting
- you need full AArch32/ARMv7 support today, which is still underway
