  • Abstract
    The binary-to-C translation becomes more and more important due to large amount of legacy binaries, since many different architectures including multicores become available to markets. In this paper, we propose the x86 binary-to-C code translator by using the GNU tools and discuss all the issues in detail occurring during the design. We tested our translator with EEMBC telecom suites, and achieved 2.6 times of performance degradation on the translated code in comparison with the original executable on average.
