Have you considered to push this mainline? #7

Thus many BAP users would see it out of the box. And probably more testing and contributing.

We'd definitely like to, but there are a couple low-hanging ways to improve it that I've been meaning to get around to first. It's been a busy few months, but hopefully soon!

Well, it is already sort of pushed, see the opam package. Once it is installed, any bap user can benefit of it.

XVilka commented 5 years ago

@ivg yes, it is available once you know about its existence. It is not mentioned anywhere on the BAP site as far as I remember. Having it under the BAP organization will provide better visibility.

ivg commented 5 years ago

We can include it in the bap package, this was the plan, actually. We're waiting for the first stable release of cbat_tools. Of course, cbat developers are welcome to the BinaryAnalysisPlatform organization, and if they want we can grant them all the necessary rights, but I believe they will feel more comfortable under their own organization :) We are also happy to include cbat in our README.md, but this is not an extensible solution. The best way to learn about the existence of this package, is to do opam search bap

Note, now with BAP 2.0 being in master, it might require some changes in the code:

ccasin commented 5 years ago

Indeed - we plan to update to BAP 2.0, but it may be a few weeks. In general we are still happy for any of these tools to eventually be included with BAP - in particular the WP analysis is at this point quite useful. However, since it is also still under active development, I'm not sure what the best strategy for that would be.
