In this article we’ll discuss writing a disassembler for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). While writing disassemblers doesn’t necessarily require much knowledge of the machine the instructions are for, it’s actually quite a fun way to get your feet wet. During this tutorial we’ll be using the D programming language. Why D? Honestly there’s no great reason. It’s mostly because I think it’s clearer and simpler than the alternatives for this kind of low-level code. Let’s get started. Introduction When writing…
