Description

Hi,

We have been looking at retdec for a while, trying to understand how it performs disassembly (get instructions, control flows, and pointers etc) from the binary. But we could not locate the corresponding logic and code.

Could you help specify the locations of the disassembly code? Related references will also be greatly appreciated.
