So please, be clear about it: Hex-Rays is a C decompiler, not C++, it can help a bit in understanding C++ code, but it is NOT a C++ decompiler. The plugin 'hexrayscodeexplorer' help a bit, specially with its automatic v-table struct creation, still it is a bit problematic, specially when you might end with 30 vtable structs bloating your database, for each class. Reverse Engineering C++ in first place is not easy, still tools for that exist, the thing is that Hex-Rays don't provide basic tools to work with C++, it supports structs, enums and unions, it doesn't understand even C emulation of C++ concepts, neither has tools to help it.įor example: The program I am decompiling, has some extremely long inheritance chains of classes, meaning that the 'end' class you are working with, might have lots of different possible v-tables.

The thing is: Hex-Rays is NOT, ABSOLUTELY NOT capable of understanding C++, at all. When I was trying to decompile a C++ program, I looked a lot about it, and saw lots of suggestions about 'Hex-Rays C/C++' compiler, including on the ReverseEngineering subreddit.
