Decompose Outlining Transform #5740

Open bpotchik opened 2 months ago

bpotchik commented 2 months ago

It would be an improvement to our decompiler pipeline if we decomposed the current outlining transform into a couple separate, interposable transforms. This would allow the transform to provide data that is useful for more than outlining. It would also allow the a part of the outlining process to consume some other data, which currently is not available when the outline transform runs.

One useful application of this would be the outliner having access to resolved type information. For example, https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/5738. Creating an array at 0x1800ec3dc should inform the strncpy dest at 0x1800ec3e7 that the outline transform should not be applied.
