Yes, because the assembly code is a low level language. After
compilation, high level information will unfortunately disapeer. We
could easily write a decompiler that generate a C "spaghetti" code
with hundreds of goto's, but this code will be unreadable. Like you
tell, it is very hard to generate a structured program (which is I
think the goal of Yadid) from a low level code.
