Decompilation from an address

Tools > Decompile from VA requests decompilation from a specified virtual address.

This workflow is useful when investigating code not represented as the expected procedure in the recovered tree. If a file is already open, enter the virtual address to process. If no file is open, DE Decompiler prompts you to select one and opens it in simplified mode.

Inspect the resulting native instructions and reconstructed listing together. Without normal initial processing, some imported-call and type information may be unavailable.

Choosing an address does not establish a valid native function boundary or signature. An incorrect entry point can produce misleading statements, argument interpretations or incomplete output. Check surrounding instructions and recognized callers before relying on the result.
