Recon 2012: Compiler Internals – Hex Rays

Written by Igor Skochinsky | Jun 21, 2012

This year I again was lucky to present at Recon in Montreal. There were many great talks as usual. I combined the topic of my last year’s talk on C++ reversing and my OpenRCE article on Visual C++ internals. New material was implementation of exceptions and RTTI in MSVC x64 and GCC (including Apple’s iOS).
The videos are not up yet but here are the slides of my presentation and a few demo scripts I made for it to parse GCC’s RTTI structures and exception tables. I also added my old scripts from OpenRCE which I amended slightly for the current IDA versions (mostly changed hotkeys).
