Tool

objdiff

Compare functions and data in reference and rebuilt object files to guide matching decompilation. Displays instruction-level differences, demangles C++ symbols, and can rebuild when source files change.

Requirements and limitations

  • Provide reference and rebuilt object files. Project integration and automatic rebuilding use objdiff.json plus a working toolchain and build command; direct CLI comparisons can use file paths.
  • v3.8.2 provides GUI binaries for Windows/Linux x86_64 and macOS arm64/x86_64, with additional CLI targets. Building from source requires Rust. Supported architectures include ARM, ARM64, MIPS, PowerPC, SuperH, and x86/x86_64.
