Re: Can data embed in the instruction stream ?

That's right, it doesn't. What is our point?


Andrew.

Ahhh... that's my problem of my first question :-). I am interested in whether ia32 binary will have such an example.


A paper says that the drawback of linear-sweep algorithm to disassemble a binary lies in misinterpretation of data in instruction stream. As their prototype is based on x86 architecture, I want to get an example. :-)

Besides, it says jump table may appear in the instruction stream, but at least to my experience, I did not encounter the case in x86 binary...
