Decompile Luac: [new]

Feature: Luac Decompiler (Prototype)

If the original author removed debug symbols ( luac -s ) the output may look like:

unluac

| Tool | Type | Notes | |------|------|-------| | | Java | Best for 5.1, open-source | | luadec | C++ | Fork of unluac, works well | | LuaDec51 | Python | Older but reliable |

Phase 2: Choose the Right Tool

• Loops: Recognizing back-edges in the CFG to reconstruct while, repeat, for.
• Conditions: Recovering if-then-else from conditional jumps.
• Local variables: Assigning synthetic names (local var1, local var2) and tracking their lifetimes (SSA form – Static Single Assignment).
