Decompile-Bench: Million-Scale Binary-Source Function Pairs for Real-World Binary Decompilation
Decompile-Bench is a large-scale open-source dataset providing two million binary-source function pairs for improving LLM-based binary decompilation, along with a benchmark (Decompile-Bench-Eval) for evaluation. Fine-tuning with it yields a 20% improvement in re-executability over previous benchmarks.
