# Remill

> Static binary translation library that lifts AArch64, SPARC32, SPARC64, x86 and amd64 machine code, including AVX and AVX512, into LLVM bitcode, with AArch32 support underway. It focuses on lifting individual instructions accurately and is meant as a library for other tools such as McSema; its documentation walks through how an instruction is lifted, how instruction semantics are implemented and the overall design.
