darodihi guys00:45
darodii was planning to migrate from multiboot to u-boot... then i read this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1344957&postcount=200:46
darodiIt's totaly useless when booted from u-boot (no wifi, battery meter, charging...)00:46
darodiis it true? any one with nitroid switched to uboot here?00:47

DocScrutinizer05darodi:01:28
DocScrutinizer05>>01:28
DocScrutinizer05To instal kernel you have to:01:28
DocScrutinizer05mount /home /and01:28
DocScrutinizer05first01:28
DocScrutinizer05<<01:28
DocScrutinizer05no more to say. All that stuff looks completely gibberish to me. I don't think I could install anything useful following those instructions, and I usually know my way around unix/linux01:29
DocScrutinizer05alas I can't help about your original question, since I never touched nitdroid - sorry. Installing uBoot on N900 is not that hard, it even tries to convert/migrate existing multiboot/bootmenu entries01:32
DocScrutinizer05God gracious, this stuff makes my eyes bleed!01:38
DocScrutinizer05bzip2 -d N12_UMay.tar.bz2 cd /01:39
*** hardaker has joined #maemo01:39
DocScrutinizer05mount /home /and01:39
DocScrutinizer05cd /and01:40
*** xes__ has joined #maemo01:40
DocScrutinizer05despite the whole thing is tagged "PHP code:" I think they really mean it01:40
DocScrutinizer05the bzip and mount parameters make no sense to me01:41
DocScrutinizer05except somebody did a damn good job to obfuscate stuff01:41
DocScrutinizer05I wouldn't hope bzip2 takes a COMMAND "cd" as parameter01:42
*** mvp has joined #maemo01:42
DocScrutinizer05and I never heard of a device /and you could mount to /home, for whatever purpose01:43
*** xes__ has quit IRC01:43
DocScrutinizer05if that's a bindmount that it should need more parameters01:43
*** xes_ has quit IRC01:43
*** xes has joined #maemo01:43
DocScrutinizer05at least --bind01:43
DocScrutinizer05even worse, mount syntax is >>mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir<< so the device was /home which for sure is no device on any linux I ever seen01:45
rikaneeDocScrutinizer05: perhaps that's why people have been filling up their rootfses?01:46
DocScrutinizer05lol, I can't even figure what might happen when trying to follow that instruction01:46
DocScrutinizer05honestly, have a look at this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1346033#post1346033 for a laugh or a cry, depending on your mood01:47
*** valerius2k is now known as valeriusN01:50
DocScrutinizer05of course "cd" *might* be a filename for bzip2, but honestly who names his file "cd" ?01:51
rikaneesigh, that entire thread is just sad.01:51
rikanee~rtfm01:51
infobotfrom memory, rtfm is Read The F*cking Manual (TM). It is a suggestion to do your homework before posting a question. Sometimes used as RTFM $SPECIFIC_MANUAL to refer to a specific source of information. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM01:51
DocScrutinizer05or it is a option parameter to bzip2 with a typo: -cd01:51
*** mvp has quit IRC01:52
DocScrutinizer05but then I'm afraid user wouldn't have any joy in watching the decompressed output spamming his stdout01:52
DocScrutinizer05only explanation is that a newline is missing, but then the bzip2 cmd makes no sense without parameters01:53
DocScrutinizer05oooor the whole shit is some extremely nifty PHP code indeed, that I simply fail to grok01:53
*** OkropNick has quit IRC01:53
DocScrutinizer05;-P01:54
DocScrutinizer05in te end I'd fail to enter the green "/" anyway X-D01:54
rikaneeDocScrutinizer05: they simply forgot to include exec();01:54
rikanee;)01:54
DocScrutinizer05ohmy android. Too complicated for me ;-P01:57
darodimount /home /and is just a bind as you say ...never seen that syntax before01:58
darodii think i'll just remove nitdroid and go for uboot. i'm using maemo 99% of the time and just reboot to nitdroid when my wife desesperately needs to play a stupid game :P02:01
DocScrutinizer05aaah, maybe get her a cheap droidfon02:03
DocScrutinizer05darodi: make sure you boot to maemo, so multiboot cleans up its shit02:04
darodiwell... she also has a n900 with a gamegripper but pollutes mine with nitdroid :))02:05
DocScrutinizer05(proper kernel modules and kernel flashed - yes, multiboot *flashes* kernel on each boot)02:05
DocScrutinizer05then you should have no problems installing most recent uBoot02:05
DocScrutinizer05and if you're lucky, uBoot will be able to boot into android on uSD out of the box02:06
DocScrutinizer05if not, I think the tweaks needed to uBoot config files and maybe android fs on uSD are minimal02:07
DocScrutinizer05you might need to get the kernel uimage of android kernel and put it somewhere from where uBoot can load it02:08
*** CaCO3 has joined #maemo02:13
darodiare there pre-made uimage already or do i need to convert the vmlinuz kernel to uimage?02:14
darodii'll have a look in the nitdroid forums02:14
*** LauRoman has quit IRC02:15
*** CaCO3 has quit IRC02:18
DocScrutinizer05there are pre-built uimages for about everything02:23
DocScrutinizer05ask Pali, he should know a lot more about all that stuff - after all he's maintainer of uBoot02:24
DocScrutinizer05hmm, lemme try sth...02:24
DocScrutinizer05~uboot02:24
infobotN900 uBoot is a siamese twin binary [uBoot+stockMaemoKernel] that resides in kernel NAND partition /dev/mtd3 aka "kernel". You can't uninstall it, rather you'll nuke it when you flash/install another kernel like stock maemo kernel or powerkernel. To start other than stock maemo kernel via uBoot, you have to provide the according kernel image files02:24
DocScrutinizer05hmmpf, thought there might be an URL to a proper wiki/tmo page about uBoot and how-to-install02:25
Paliif you put linux (z)image to /boot or /opt/boot it will be automatically converted to uimage format by u-boot-update-bootmenu02:25
DocScrutinizer05wow02:25
Paliand stored in MyDocs02:25
DocScrutinizer05:-D02:25
DocScrutinizer05scary :->02:25
darodiPali: thanks for the info02:25
DocScrutinizer05Pali: seems Nokia never will fix that signing key issue02:29
Palidid you got any new email?02:29
DocScrutinizer05Pali: should we get rip-offs of the Nokia repos and publish a tool to patch the catalogs?02:29
DocScrutinizer05no new mail02:29
DocScrutinizer05maybe even a fiasco image with patched catalogs list02:30
DocScrutinizer05the run our own core repos02:30
DocScrutinizer05then*02:30
darodiPali: i have cssuthumb and kp 51 in nand right now. should i reboot to omap1 before uninstalling  multiboot?02:30
DocScrutinizer05ohohoh02:31
Pali15.5 I got email from Mikko that he going to fix it02:31
DocScrutinizer05:-o02:31
DocScrutinizer05darodi: a thumbified system will crash on a non-thumb-enabled kernel02:31
darodithat's what i thought02:32
DocScrutinizer05alas uBoot comes with stock kernel02:32
darodiuhmf02:33
DocScrutinizer05so installing uBoot on a thombified system is quite tricky - you easily end in a reboot loop02:33
DocScrutinizer05you basically have to make sure that your uBoot can boot from a powerkernel uimage before you install uBoot02:34
DocScrutinizer05otherwise you end up with a system with uBoot and stock kernel that can't boot up to fix it any easy way02:34
PaliI will write to Mikko if he is really going to fix it or not02:35
DocScrutinizer05make sure you have the right "To:" ;-)02:35
DocScrutinizer05and maybe add council to CC02:36
DocScrutinizer05for sure council wants to help on that issue02:36

darodiDocScrutinizer05: so... to summarize03:26
darodi1. uninstall multiboot03:26
darodi2. install uboot03:26
darodi3. upgrade kp51 to kp5203:26
darodi4. create bootmenu items03:26
darodi5. run update boot menu03:26
darodi6. reboot03:26
darodii am right?03:26
darodi0. backup everything :P03:27
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC03:28
DocScrutinizer05hmm, to me that lloks good, but that doesn't mean a thing. I'm no expert03:29
DocScrutinizer05though... upgrade KP nukes uBoot03:30
DocScrutinizer05you need to install KP-uimage03:30
darodithat's what i meant with the point 303:32
darodiinstall uimages for kp and create valid bootmenu items03:32
DocScrutinizer05the idea is that uBoot loads different uImages depending on kernel you want to boot. But the one "built-in" kernel that ships with uBoot is a stock maemo kernel that doesn't work with thumb. So you need the kp52-uimage in place before you install uBoot03:32
DocScrutinizer05yep03:33

divVerentbefore I waste 30minutes to code my own: is there already an "align to grid" tool for hildon-desktop?12:29
*** lost_atlantis has joined #maemo12:29
divVerentif not - it looks like I'll do it as shell script then12:29
jogahmm, I think some theme manager thingy allowed to configure grid snap...12:34
*** Martix has joined #maemo12:34
jogadivVerent, I have something in Settings called Theme Customizer (I forget the package name), it allows to define the snap etc12:35
divVerentodd, as there is no gconf setting for that12:36
divVerentwonder where it sets that then :)12:37
jogadunno :) but I have it set on 8 pixels and when I drag stuff around they align themselves according to that12:37
divVerentOH, so maybe the snap size is part of the theme12:38
divVerentthat'd explain why I don't find it in gconf12:38
divVerentthanks, that did it12:39
divVerentno snap to grid shell script then :)12:40

jogasome of my more special keyboards have this 'plunk' sound they make when you release a key, it sorta echoes inside it also12:58

divVerentBTW, just saw with NetStory... I need only about 100 MB per month of mobile traffic with the N90016:31
divVerentby setting it to only use mobule internet when asked to16:31
divVerentgood it has options to e.g. only16:32
divVerentcheck email on wifi automatically, and such16:32
divVerentiPhone in same usage pattern took about 500 MB16:32
divVerent100 MB however only due to Opera's Turbo server... otherwise it'd be about 200 MB16:32

*** ron0062000 has quit IRC17:05
DocScrutinizer05yeah, but that usage pattern is mostly irrelevant to me, thanks xchat ;-)17:05
DocScrutinizer05the whole idea and purpose behind irc and maemo unique awesome multitasking being the always-online aspect17:06
DocScrutinizer05IOW the fact that I get audible and vibra notification on every highlight and inbound /query in realtime17:07
divVerentthat would be too much for me... due to some other channels17:07
divVerentthing is, Maemo simply needs a lot less traffic than iOS17:08
divVerentbecause you have more control on what you enable and what not17:08
divVerentI also use AutoDisconnect, for example17:08
DocScrutinizer05the only optimization I could think of is a smart proxy that does the highlight detection serverside and thus buffers "irrelevant" traffic until a realtime "event" happens17:08
DocScrutinizer05divVerent: auto-disconnect is a poor idea and a terrible botch/hack that messes up your connectivity sooner or later17:09
divVerentmesses up?17:09
divVerentI know it isn't really implemented right... but what is the worst that can happen?17:09
divVerentthat it disconnects17:09
divVerentso what17:10
DocScrutinizer05being associated to aPN doesn't mean any increased power usage or traffic per se17:10
divVerentsure17:10
divVerentbut it means that the next program wanting a data connection will ask me17:10
divVerent(or fail)17:10
divVerentAutoDisconnect's main issue is that its detection logic is flawed17:10
divVerentit checks once per $INTERVAL for the amount of traffic since start17:10
divVerentso if just at the end of $INTERVAL I open the browser...17:11
divVerentit may still disconnect me right after fetching some data17:11
DocScrutinizer05and I seen like half a million user complaints about mysterious defects in connectivity that were impossible to fix even by deinstallation of auto-disconnect -> reflash for those poor lads17:11
divVerentI can live with that though, it never hit me, but it's an obvious flaw nevertheless17:11
divVerentthat I did not have yet17:11
divVerentwhat weird stuff does it do other than checking traffic amount and disconnecting?17:11
DocScrutinizer05yeah it kicks in at random, eventually17:12
divVerentyes, it does kick in at random, by its flawed design... for the reason I described17:12
divVerentbut that issue I can live with17:12
DocScrutinizer05auto-disconnect is messing with icd config and logic in a way that doesn't get deinstalled by postrm17:12
divVerentwhy would it even need to do that17:12
DocScrutinizer05eventually icd breaks on that mess17:12
divVerentand do you have any other software to suggest for that purpose?17:13
divVerentall I REALLY want is automatic disconnection from GPRS/3G when locking17:13
DocScrutinizer05sorry I never did an in-depth evaluation, just episodic wisdom17:13
divVerentalso, if the bug is known, why isn't it fixed17:13
divVerent(the bug in postrm, that is)17:13
DocScrutinizer05divVerent: for THAT I'd suggest dbus-scripting plus some smart dbus message to ICD217:14
DocScrutinizer05see17:14
DocScrutinizer05~phone-control17:14
divVerentI wouldn't know which message, though17:14
DocScrutinizer05~phonecontrol17:14
divVerentand on which event17:14
infobotfrom memory, phonecontrol is http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control17:14
divVerentbut also17:14
divVerentnow that I know postrm has a bug17:14
divVerentshould I really dare to deinstall it?17:14
divVerentor would that even CAUSE issues due to now dangling references?17:15
DocScrutinizer05nah, deinstall of auto-disconnect is prone to COMPLETELY mess up stuff17:15
*** _rd has quit IRC17:15
divVerentwhy is it in extras BTW then17:15
DocScrutinizer05yep, exactly17:15
divVerentif it is that broken17:15
divVerentshouldn't such stuff remain in extras-devel then?17:15
DocScrutinizer05indeed17:15
divVerentI sure can't afford reflashing it17:16

*** ieatlint has joined #maemo17:17
divVerentdebsums is sort of that17:17
divVerentbut not packaged for Maemo17:17
DocScrutinizer05well, you know the path to go... ;-D17:17
divVerentif I have the list of files modified from the original version, all else I need is the original .debs and diff17:17
DocScrutinizer05seen your application17:17
divVerentyes, but it'd take me still a few weeks to be able to run the SDK17:17
divVerentI still only have my eeepc 70117:17
divVerentand yes, debsums should be somewhat easy to port17:18
divVerentalthough the debian binary does not run on Maemo17:18
divVerenttoo many library dependencies for crypto hash stuff17:18
DocScrutinizer05:nod:17:18
divVerentbut such libs tend to be quite portable17:18
*** eijk has joined #maemo17:18
divVerentactually, if I had a Debian system here... I could run debsums remotely :)17:18
divVerentdebsums can use another root, and sshfs exists17:18
DocScrutinizer05or you ask somebody with a proper system to run that stuff for you ;-D17:19
divVerenthehe17:19
divVerentactually17:19
divVerentdebsums may be a good idea17:19
divVerentit may even find what AutoDisconnect screwed up17:19
DocScrutinizer05yep, absolutel<y17:19
DocScrutinizer05ping merlin1991!17:19
*** eijk_ has quit IRC17:19
divVerentonce you know the file, it probably can be fixed by a few dpkg commands17:19
DocScrutinizer05he might be very interested17:19
DocScrutinizer05he also might be willing to help on getting debsums pkg built for maemo17:20
divVerenttoo bad it's still ugly to download every single .deb, and extract the one file to compare with17:20
divVerentalso, I recently noticed that LOTS of stuff from community is not in the mp-community-*-pr metapackage17:20
divVerentnot even apt is17:20
DocScrutinizer05:nod:17:21
divVerentor the notes app is not either17:21
DocScrutinizer05that's base package that comes by flashing17:21
divVerentI had wondered why my deborphan keepers file is so big :)17:21
divVerentI created it from a fresh install17:21
divVerentsome of the packages in that list SURE don't look like I could safely remove them17:21
DocScrutinizer05sure17:21
divVerentso mp-*-pr does not protect all that should be protected from "accidental" removal17:21
DocScrutinizer05that's why apt-get upgrade is forbidden (well, one of the reasons, and not really exactly fitting this case, but anyway)17:22
divVerentupgrade does not remove stuff17:22
divVerentyou mean dist-upgrade :)17:22
DocScrutinizer05yep17:22
*** ZogG_laptop has quit IRC17:22
divVerentbut even dist-upgrade doesn't "just do" it17:22
divVerentit lists what it would do, and asks17:22
DocScrutinizer05and auto-remove17:22
divVerentsomething one should ALWAYS read17:22
divVerenteven on Ubuntu this broke stuff sometimes17:22
DocScrutinizer05and other weird commands on apt cmdline17:22
divVerentlike, I had it once want to remove bash on Ubuntu17:23
DocScrutinizer05lol17:23
divVerentautoremove is not even broken...17:23
divVerentit does what it is designed for... and its design is bad17:23
DocScrutinizer05probably deinstalled 90% of system17:23
divVerentit's equally bad on Debian17:23
divVerentjust that Debian does a better job at marking packages "essential"17:23
divVerentwhich apt generally refuses to remove17:23
DocScrutinizer05:nod:17:24
DocScrutinizer05nokia been terribly lazy on dependcy-definitions17:24
divVerentI actually hate the autoremove function of packaging systems17:24
divVerentI mean, does it even do any good?17:24
divVerentI install stuff, try it out... and later want to remove it17:24
DocScrutinizer05they cut edges there, assuming they were in full control of every PR that rolls out17:24
divVerentbut when I installed like 50 crazy things to try out17:24
divVerentthen I don't remember any more which they were17:24
divVerentso basically, I do not even WANT automatic marking as "wanted" when installing stuff17:25
divVerentI know you can tell apt to not do that, but the default is bad and leads to clutter in that list17:25
divVerentthat's why I use debfoster/deborphan17:25
divVerentmy workflow is to rather install lots of stuff17:25
divVerenttry it out17:25
divVerentmark as good what I want to keep17:25
divVerentthen remove all else17:25
DocScrutinizer05you seem pretty savvy regarding that stuff17:25
divVerentusing Debian, Ubuntu for ages...17:26
divVerentas for debsums, I will now try to run that over WLAN then Internet then my server :)17:26
divVerentthe flash image isn't THAT big, so it may even work17:26
DocScrutinizer05all it needs is a proper lesson on all the broken stuff in maemo packaging and we have a new maintainer ;-)17:26
divVerentisn't the lesson of what is NOT broken shorter? :)17:26
DocScrutinizer05indeed ;-P17:26
divVerentregarding the phone control page... I was not into telephony much17:27
divVerentwhat is the difference between "ICD" and "ICD2"17:27
DocScrutinizer05let's face it: apt never been meant to get used without HAM wrapper around it, on maemo17:28
DocScrutinizer05I think there is no difference, except lazy typing17:28
divVerentI somewhat doubt the HAM wrapper does it a lot better... it does other things worse17:28
divVerentis the icd2 documented anywhere?17:29
divVerentthat bitmask field looks intriguing... like, can it be told to not touch wifi? :)17:29
DocScrutinizer05(HAM) well, it adds another layer of abstraction, some filtering, and a new concept of traust/security17:29
DocScrutinizer05trust*17:29
divVerentah, no17:29
*** FlameReaper has quit IRC17:29
divVerentit is documented, and does nothing useful17:30

*** brzys has joined #maemo17:30
divVerenthm... "network type" is one of the args of that request. That sounds neat.17:30
divVerentso disconnect GPRS on lock is actually quite easy17:30
DocScrutinizer05it sure is17:30
divVerentoh wait, also noticed something else17:31
divVerentI want to conserve battery life17:31
DocScrutinizer05would take me max 15 min to implement17:31
divVerentso maybe what I really want is to disconnect GPRS _and_ wifi as soon as I am on battery AND locked17:31
divVerentyes, probably17:31
divVerentonly this checking for both things... is not that trivial using just dbus-script17:31
divVerentunless I store data in files, which I would not want to17:31
DocScrutinizer05get dbus-scripting pkg, run dbus-monitor and find out about the relevant events/messages, implement the dbus-scripting-script17:32
divVerentso I would rather want to check lock state and charging state... in worst case, using bnf's way, and lock is sure in the process table :)17:32
divVerentdbus-scripting however is somewhat stateless... or not?17:32
divVerentit nonly responds to messages17:32
DocScrutinizer05why not store data in temporary files?17:32
divVerentbut if I only want to react when TWO events are true, and no matter which one came last17:32
divVerentthat is error prone :)17:32
divVerentI'd rather check the respective other state on each state change17:32
DocScrutinizer05or, even better: find our about sttaes by more dbus messages or rads from sysfs?17:33
divVerentyes, that would be it17:33
divVerentjust means more badly doucmented dbus stuff to figure out17:33
DocScrutinizer05damn, my typing sucks today even worse than usually17:33

divVerentall PC I have here is the eeepc with 4 GB SSD17:41
divVerentand 2 GB RAM17:41
divVerenta typical case where the rule "swap = 2 * ram" would be REALLY bad17:41
DocScrutinizer05I finally should upload a complete virgin maemo5 fs to $somewhere17:41
divVerentso I used an alternate rule: "swap = 0"17:41
rikaneedivVerent: 2GB RAM for a Linux system is a /lot/17:42
divVerentyes17:42
divVerentbut I sometimes used it17:42
divVerentI had to run Java stuff...17:42
divVerenttypically in my daily use, up to 1GB get used17:42
divVerentsome web sites eat a lot of RAM17:43
DocScrutinizer05don't ever try to run crazy PHP jobs on it! ;-)17:43
rikaneeactually, unless I were to build/link large programs, e.g. Android/Firefox/Chrome/etc., I'd have swap off17:43
divVerenton SSD I never use swap... except on the N900 where it can't be avoided17:43
DocScrutinizer05we got one on garage.m.o that used to use 5GB of ram, for nuttin17:43
divVerentbut there I moved swap to an old micro SD card17:43
divVerentif it breaks from write cycles, so be it17:43
divVerentthere is BTW a neat trick to "move" swap on N90017:43
divVerentjust swapon -p 1 /dev/elsewhere17:43
divVerentit will take priority over the default swap17:44
*** fastlane` has joined #maemo17:44

divVerentbut it isn't hard to unpack a .deb, remove the doc files AND their references in the file list, then repack it17:51

divVerentand follow the documentation on cssu/cssu-thumb directly18:22
divVerentit works totally different18:22
eddyb9what do you mean?18:22
divVerentyou are supposed to use some .install file18:22
eddyb9how different?18:22
divVerentwhich then will graphically bring your system to CSSU18:22
divVerentvia HAM18:22
divVerentif you do it just by apt means, it won't do some reconfiguring required by the upgrade18:23
eddyb9but that uses apt sources, doesn't it?18:23
divVerentnot only that18:23
eddyb9well, ham wasn't doing anything last time I tried18:23
eddyb9maybe it was, but this darn debian crap isn't transparent enough18:24
eddyb9apt-get is so bad compared to zypper, and aptitude doesn't do much better18:24
divVerentyou just aren't supposed to add a repository at all for this18:25
divVerentyou install a specific file you get on the page explaining CSSU (don't have the link here)18:25

DocScrutinizer05maemo doesn't work like any other usual debian distro, when it comes to repostiories and package management18:28
DocScrutinizer05not like any RPM based distro either18:29

*** dos1 has joined #maemo19:52
Sc0rpiusall decompilers will be crap specially for things like C, C++19:52
Sc0rpiussince it really depends on the compiler how you can decompile things19:53
eddyb9I had a x86 backend in a couple of days, and in another few days I had working stack analysis19:53
eddyb9which IDA doesn't have19:53
eddyb9Sc0rpius: common misconception19:53
Sc0rpiusnow a decompiler for Android or .NET (like Windows Phone apps) will show perfect codes but there are already way too many decompilers for that19:53
Sc0rpiuswell I'm not sure if you know how compilers work19:54
eddyb9that's because those have bytecode formats that require type information19:54
Sc0rpiusbut at least you should agree that a single C line of code will be assembled different in gcc compared to other compiler19:54
eddyb9it will be assembled differently in different versions of gcc19:55
Sc0rpiusa decompiler would have to guess which compiler was used and guess what was the original C line19:55
Sc0rpiusexactly19:55
Sc0rpiusand if you use -O options in gcc19:55
eddyb9and in the same version with different optimization levels19:55
eddyb9ok, you're not dumb, but I'm slow because xchat on N90019:55
eddyb9but the thing is...19:56
eddyb9the processor will do similar operations no matter the compiler19:56
eddyb9or the platform19:56
eddyb9you only have a problem if you have legacy disasm, which is what IDA gives you for two thousand dollars19:57
Sc0rpiuswell since most people that use IDA don't use it for legal reasons most people don't get IDA in legal ways ;)19:58
eddyb9if I wasn't this fucked up with school & stuff, I would've had a web interface with more of C-like output, already19:58
Sc0rpiuslike Bill Gates said (or shoud have said919:59
Sc0rpius"assembler ought to be enough for everybody"19:59

eddyb9same for unpackers20:06

eddyb9and I know a community of real reverse engineers, I know for sure there's a need for a real decompiler20:11
Sc0rpiusI don't think so.20:11
Sc0rpiusunless it's a higher level language like .NET or Java but there are already way too many decompilers for that.20:11
eddyb9why am I even talking to you...20:12
divVerentollydbg is a debugger, but not a full flow analyzing disassembler20:13

eddyb9I'm talking practical decompilation20:16
divVerentbut current C/C++ compilers do so crazy optimizations20:16
Sc0rpiusyou would have like a library of all compilers behaviors somehow coded in your decompiler.20:16
divVerentit's near impossible to get back to even similar source20:16
eddyb9most of the optimizations are easy to revert20:16
divVerentbut if anyone succeeds, it'd be very interesting20:16
Sc0rpiusyeah20:17
Sc0rpiusand that's why I insist:20:17
Sc0rpius<Sc0rpius> good luck with that20:17
Sc0rpiusbut now swaying there's a NEED for a C/C++ decompiler... that's wrong.20:17
divVerentactually20:17
divVerentthere is more need of a nice annotating disassembler20:18
divVerentthat not just does what IDA does20:18
Sc0rpiusI agree20:18
divVerentbut also shows explanations of obscure instructions20:18
divVerentbasically IDA + google20:18
Sc0rpiussaying there's a need of a C/C++ decompiler only shows lack of experience in assembly, that's all.20:18

divVerenta C binary vs source code comparer :)20:31
divVerentto see if gcc screwed up again20:31
divVerenthaha, a "not perfect, but correct" decompiler is also known as disassembler... just change every "mov a, b" into "a = b;"20:33
ApicB-)20:34
ApicI love Assembly.20:34
divVerentin fact, for QuakeC I wanted to make such a thing... I already have a binary analyzer that does quite some static analysis, detect unused/uninitialized values, etc.20:34
divVerentand it prints out QCVM assembly... I did want to write a second output that transforms the instruction 1:1 into QC20:35
divVerentso the analyzer is also useful to people who don't want to learn in which argument order STORE_F works :)20:35
Sc0rpiusso you want a translator20:36
Sc0rpiusand that would be cool if it's multiprocessor20:37
Sc0rpiusthat is translate assembly code from several processors to a standard "more human readable" code20:37
Sc0rpiusnot necessary C20:37
divVerentthe main issue why people want a decompiler is that Intel assembly got so convoluted20:37
Sc0rpiussomething more easily to understand20:37
divVerentespecially the MMX/SSE instructions can get quite obscure20:37
Sc0rpiusthat would be nice20:37
Sc0rpiusyou define a standard "assembly" code human readable with things like "a = b" and stuff20:37
Sc0rpiusand then you make translators for x86, ARM, etc to THAT standard human code you just defined20:38
Sc0rpiusthat's a very good idea20:38
divVerenteven better if it has some heuristics to read SSE code, e.g. notices dot products and matrix multiplications20:38
Sc0rpiusof course it will not be a 1 instruction = 1 line of code20:38
Sc0rpiusbut something like 10 MMX instructions = 1 line of simple human readable math code20:38
Sc0rpiusthat's a very good idea20:39
