It could be cool to see some explanation of CFG representations or GIMPLE/LLVM here. GCC/Clang can print those out as text, or just compile to that code and not go lower if you ask them to. There are some interesting things you can do with bytecode, like Rellic, AFL++, or optview2. It seems a bit reductive imo to go straight from high-level code to disassembly without at all examining any layers in between. Especially if we use something like Polygeist or CIR.

dynamorio

Dynamic Instrumentation Tool Platform

Project mention: I feel like I'm stuck | /r/C_Programming | 2023-05-23

You might ask what Job or what project. The answer depends on what you want to learn/do (as mentioned it codependent). If you want to know how the execution of a Programm happens in detail and how it can be manipulated during runtime you can dive into DynamoRIO (https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio). There, you can also learn a lot about instruction set architectures.
