Abstract

This master's thesis describes the design and implementation of optimizations in the middle-end part of a retargetable decompiler developed by AVG Technologies. The purpose of these optimizations is to improve readability of the produced source code and improve existing optimizations in the back-end part. In the introduction, basic information about reverse engineering and decompilation is provided. Then, a description of state of the retargetable decompiler before this work is given. After that, the main part of this work is presented, which describes the design and implementation of the proposed optimizations. Then, the techniques that were used for testing are described. This description is followed by a summary of the achieved results. The present work is concluded by a discussion of possible future development.

Keywords
Reverse engineering, decompiler, decompilation, middle-end part of a decompiler, optimization, source code readability.
