Description

[Binaries](https://github.com/avast-tl/retdec/files/1703255/bins.zip) sent to us by user through https://retdec.com/.

These binaries contain local array of function pointers. They are very similar (maybe the same), but for different architectures, and with/without DWARF info.

Research direction

Start by examining the attached binaries and reproducing how RetDec handles local arrays of function pointers across the listed architectures and DWARF variants. Done means the decompiler handles these binaries consistently and represents their local function-pointer arrays correctly.
