# PowerUp

> PowerUp is a set of disassembly and decompilation utilities. PowerUp.Watcher.exe watches source, IR, and IL, then compiles, decompiles, and disassembles them to IL, IR, and x86 assembly. The reviewed command lines use -rs for Rust, -go for Go, and -cs for C#, each with an input file and an output file. The same process can run those compilers together. C# is the language with interactive execution, benchmarking, and class and struct layouts. The set also includes a .NET JIT disassembler and a .NET IL compiler.
