rsleigh-decompile 0.4.0

//! Detect `JMP RAX` (and `JMP <reg>`) tail-call trampolines.
//!
//! Modern packers route IAT calls through a single 1- or 2-byte gadget
//! `FF E0` (JMP RAX) — the resolver computes the real target address,
//! puts it in RAX, then `CALL`s the trampoline. To the analyst staring
//! at the disasm, every routed call looks like a call to the same
//! 2-byte function, which destroys readability.
//!
//! This module finds those gadgets so the printer / xref renderer can
//! treat them transparently. Detection rules:
//!   - Function body is exactly `FF Ex` (JMP r64) followed by INT3
//!     padding or end-of-function.
//!   - The gadget address is referenced by either an IAT slot, an RVA
//!     table, or a CALL site that performs `MOV RAX, X; CALL gadget`.
//!
//! False-positive surface is essentially zero: a 2-byte function that
//! is *just* `JMP rN` is rare in legitimate code, and when it does
//! occur (compiler-generated thunks), the routing semantics are the
//! same.
//!
//! Empirically observed in:
//!   - PyVMProtect v3/v5 (`0x180034750`, `0x180040770`)
//!   - VMProtect 3.x runtime
//!   - Themida API wrappers
//!   - Donut / shellcode variants
//!
//! See `repos/CrackMe_PyVMP_v5/WHITEPAPER.md` § anti-emu trampoline for
//! the motivating session.
