Structural analysis for decompilation

Decompilation is a difficult problem in reverse engi¬neering. Structural analysis (reconstruction of structural constructs like while, if-then-else, switch, etc.) is an im¬portant part of decompilation. The current paper presents several methods for structural analysis. One of the presented methods was implemented in the TyDec decompiler being developed by the authors. The paper also presents a method for reconstruction C++ exception handling constructs.
