Reverse Engineering V8’s Ignition Bytecode: A Decompiler Approach for JavaScript Analysis

4.2 Decompiler Architecture

1. Disassembly → Instruction list with operands.
2. Control Flow Analysis:
   • Node.js: node --print-bytecode script.js
   • D8 (V8 Developer Shell): The standard tool for V8 debugging.
   • Flags:

     function add(a, b) 
       return a + b;
