About:
REC is a portable reverse engineering compiler, or decompiler. It reads an executable file and attempts to produce a C-like representation of the code and data used to build it. It can decompile 386, 68k, PowerPC, and MIPS R3000 programs. It recognizes the following file formats: ELF (System V Rel. 4, e.g. Linux, Solaris, etc.), COFF (System V Rel. 3.x, e.g. SCO), PE (Win32 .EXE and .DLL for Microsoft Windows 95 and NT), AOUT (BSD derivatives, e.g. SunOS 4.x), Playstation PS-X (MIPS target only), and raw binary data (via .cmd files).

[»] segfaults
by Claudio - Jan 8th 2004 08:33:20

I remember this from years ago, it's a very nice program but has a very high tendency towards segfaults. Having no source to read I can't help other than offering some executables which cause such problems.

you could fix those segfaults by modyfing the particular last offset displayed just before crash directly into the source exe. This was may loose some code but can temporarily make rec to run past that point.



For very big files like delphi/vb exe's you may need to do this step many times before all the exe is processess.



Even cause of this problem, the applications is certainly good. You can't compile code but you can certainly get a large part of flow or algorithms.
