Concern Regarding Dataset Integrity

[5c4lar]

Upon thorough examination, it has come to my attention that the dataset's integrity might be compromised due to the methodology employed in generating the assembly representations. Specifically, the use of object files instead of fully linked binaries introduces inaccuracies, particularly concerning external function calls and the handling of immediate values.

The absence of the linking process results in disassemblies where immediate numbers for external function calls are left blank, leading to misleading representations. Each call to an external function is disassembled to call the next instruction, which can severely impact the model's ability to distinguish between different external function calls.

For example, in your decompile-eval.json, line:294, task 10, O1, the function with strlen, malloc and strncpy results in using the following disassembly as the input, those callqs do not point to the correct location. Even state of the art decompilers cannot decompile those assembly (when the object files are stripped and correct values are not filled into those calls).

This discrepancy raises concerns about the reliability and effectiveness of the language models trained on such data. Inaccurate representations could potentially undermine the model's ability to generalize and produce meaningful decompiled C functions.
