SWIG
A code generator for connecting C/C++ with other programming languages
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different types of target languages including common scripting languages such as Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby. The list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as C#, D, Go language, Java, Lua, OCaml, Octave, R and Scilab as well as the Guile implementation of the Scheme language. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG is typically used to parse C/C++ interfaces and generate the 'glue code' required for the above target languages to call into the C/C++ code. SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML. -

ILSpy
.NET Decompiler with support for PDB generation, ReadyToRun, Metadata
ILSpy is the open-source .NET assembly browser and decompiler. Visual Studio 2022 ships with decompilation support for F12 enabled by default (using our engine v7.1). In Visual Studio 2019, you have to manually enable F12 support. Go to Tools / Options / Text Editor / C# / Advanced and check Enable navigation to decompiled source. C# for Visual Studio Code ships with decompilation support as well. To enable, activate the setting "Enable Decompilation Support. ILSpy is distributed under the MIT License. Please see the About doc for details, as well as third-party notices for included open-source libraries. Visual Studio 16.3 and later include a version of the .NET (Core) SDK that is managed by the Visual Studio installer - once you update, it may get upgraded too. Please note that ILSpy is only compatible with the .NET 6.0 SDK and Visual Studio will refuse to load some projects in the solution. -

unluac
A decompiler for Lua 5.x
unluac is a decompiler for Lua 5.0 through 5.4. It runs on Lua chunks that have been compiled with the standard Lua compiler. It requires that debugging information has not been stripped from the chunk. (By default, the Lua compiler includes this debugging information.) This program is written in Java. A JAR package is available in the downloads section so you don't have to compile it. It runs from the command line and accepts a single argument: the file name of a Lua chunk. The decompiled code is printed to the standard output. Here is an example usage of unluac: java -jar unluac.jar myfile.lua > myfile_decompiled.lua The current version also has pretty good support for Lua 5.0 and Lua 5.1. Support for later versions is also good if the code doesn't use too many gotos. -

A disassembler for the linux platform. Currently this supports x86 ELF files assumed to be written in C and output to intel- syntax assembly language; however the design is modular and replacements for any of these can be written.

tmux
tmux is a terminal multiplexer
tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached. This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. tmux depends on libevent 2.x, and on ncurses. To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed. Some platforms provide binary packages for tmux. -

FernFlower
Decompiler from Java bytecode to Java, used in IntelliJ IDEA
Fernflower is an open-source Java decompiler originally developed by JetBrains that takes compiled Java bytecode and reconstructs readable source code, helping developers understand, debug, and recover lost Java code from .class files. It works by analyzing the structure of bytecode and inferring higher-level constructs like loops, conditionals, generics, and exception handling to produce Java source that is as close as possible to what a human would have written, making it useful for both reverse engineering and educational purposes. Fernflower is integrated into popular Java IDEs and tools where decompilation is needed, and its robust analysis handles a wide range of language features introduced across multiple Java versions. Because it outputs clean, structured, and often compilable code, developers use it for auditing binaries, exploring third-party libraries without source, and recovering parts of legacy systems where source was lost or unavailable. -

Glslang
Khronos-reference front end for GLSL/ESSL, partial front end for HLSL
To use the standalone binary form, execute glslangValidator, and it will print a usage statement. Basic operation is to give it a file containing a shader, and it will print out warnings/errors and optionally an AST. Instead of building manually, you can also download the binaries for your platform directly from the master-tot release on GitHub. Those binaries are automatically uploaded by the build bots after successful testing and they always reflect the current top of the tree of the master branch. Right now, there are two test harnesses existing in glslang: one is Google Test, one is the runtests script. The former runs unit tests and single-shader single-threaded integration tests, while the latter runs multiple-shader linking tests and multi-threaded tests. Test results should always be included with a pull request that modifies functionality. -
