alt Hacker NewsI'm reminded of the tools in programs like Ghidra or IDA which can take assembly code and convert it into a C-like language. If you could create one of those tools that also takes in the source file so that it names things somewhat reasonably, could you create an anything to C translator? As long as the original file compiles to assembly, that is
I once used Ghidra to decompile a hand-written ARM assembly floating point library and compile the result to a different architecture, and it was significantly faster than GCC’s built in methods…
But in general this kind of thing is very unreliable for any non-trivial code without a lot of manual work, so a better approach could be to compile to WebAssembly which can be translated into C
