A binary recompiler is a compiler that takes executable binary files as input, analyzes their structure, applies transformations and optimizations, and outputs new optimized executable binaries.
[1] The foundation to the concepts of binary recompilation were laid out by Gary Kildall[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] with the development of the optimizing assembly code translator XLT86 in 1981.
