ExeBench-FHD: Addressing Fidelity Issues in Decompiler Evaluation

We present ExeBench-FHD, a backward-compatible revision of ExeBench that adds 16 new fields: call-site assembly, data sections, test wrappers, linked-binary disassembly and five warning flags.

Key points

  • ExeBench is one of the most widely used benchmarks for evaluating LLM-based decompilers.
  • We analyze ExeBench and identify nine issues that affect how faithfully a test measures a decompiler.
  • Three of them prevent LLM decompilers from recovering C code from ExeBench's function.
  • Six more affect test validity: non-void functions without a return, placeholder types, static or inline functions removed by the optimizer, functions named main, trivial bodies and truncated definitions.
