# IR Lifting Benchmark

> IR Lifting Benchmark compares binary lifting workflows across Ghidra P-code, angr VEX, BAP BIL and optional LLVM IR paths. Shell and Python scripts run analyses on binary samples, collect performance and control-flow metrics, check lifted semantics and generate reports and visualizations.
