A crucial problem in the decompilation or disassembly of computer programs is the identification of executable code, i.e. the separation of instructions from data. This problem, for most computer architectures, is equivalent to the Halting Problem and is therefore unsolvable in general. The problem of identifying instructions is examined in this paper and an algorithm that will 'usually' perform a correct analysis is described. In addition, other aspects of disassembly are discussed and algorithms outlined. (Received October 1978; revised May 1979)
