Yes, there will be no C source code. You are loading just ELF and you need to extract the source code information from the debug info in the binary itself. So you will need to find some library that is not too big (LLVM) and is cross platform (including wasm) to read it.
thanks,then it will be very hard : I
I'm going to try to do something with this issue, to achieve the same functionality as described above
I'll leave the extracting of the source code as an interface (with options in the menu), and give the following two implementations
may be looks like this:
Since the latter is easier, I'll try to implement it first.
If I still have time I might work on it, but of course it can be left to others!
For extract, I tried to find and test some disassemblers (tested on x86), e.g. ida, ghidra. ida disassembles quite well, but it's not open source. ghidra is open source, and it works fine, but it's also quite a large project, not easy to use, and doesn't really have good support for dwarf-5 and riscv? (not going in depth here, just sharing some progress and thoughts)
I think you might be going in the wrong direction here. I quicky browsed GitHub and this is the kind of library we had in mind: https://github.com/GrandChris/elf_analysis I did not check the library in depth.
Direct loading is not useful, since you need to map the code lines with instructions anyway.

• extract from ELF • directly load locally Since the latter is easier, I'll try to implement it first.

I am not saying I will give up reading ELF, it is necessary and included in my plan. I will certainly search for a relevant library to read elf
The solution I said only temporarily simplifies the first step: how to get C code
I think you are referring to
124 or
Are there any problems?
