“For reverse engineers and program analysts: x86_64 instruction decoding is hard.”

An idea that hit me while reading this: Using a tool like this should (help to) make it easy to determine if a commercial app is using GPL libraries illicitly by assembling a syntax tree of method signatures as a first line indicator that the executable contains code matching a GPL library. If first pass indicates a match a deeper analysis of operation codes could reveal “similarities too consistent to be coincidence.”

Or an I describing something that had been in use since 2001?
