Doesn't that depend on the compiler's version though? Or, for that matter, even the sub-version. Every compiler does things differently.

From the README:

> By re-compiling the decompiled output and running the test cases, we assess if the decompilation preserved the program logic and behavior.

As this is in the metrics section, I guess fully automating this is not part of the research.
