After writing my previous post, Building your own Reflector with Mono.Cecil and the CodeDom, I decided to find other initiatives to writing a ‘new Reflector’. I’ve now joined the Monoflector effort, working on filling the gaps in the current decompiler. It seems a good fit, because I already knew a few things about it after my small spike.

We’re working with the decompiler which is part of the Cecil project. However, there are quite a few bugs or just lacking features which makes reading the generated code quite frustrating. We’ve forked Cecil and are working on adding the features we need.

If you want to check out the project, I invite you to go to our github page at http://github.com/jcdickinson/Monoflector. Feel free to fork the project and get your changes in, but keep in mind that at the moment of writing, the GUI is under quite heavy construction. It might not be a good idea to work on that, because it will be quite hard to integrate your changes into the main branch.
