WIP: Do not expect this to work for you yet.
pcode2c is a Ghidra translator script from low pcode to a specialized C interpreter for the purposes of running the resulting code through off the shelf verifiers (for example CBMC). The resulting C has a direct mapping to the underlying assembly.
C is a useful intermediate because it enables using powerful off the shelf verifiers and can be directly compared (with a little muscle grease) against decompilaton or source.
This enables soundly answering questions about the relationship between high level source and binary in a relatively easy manner that no other method I know of can do.

python3 -m pip install -e .python3 -m pcode2c ./examples/min/mymin.o > tmp.c
gcc -I _templates -c tmp.c - Open up Ghidra on a binary
- Click on
Window > Script Managerin the toolbar - Manage Script Directories button in top right of Script Manager window (looks like a checklist)
- Find the
./scriptsdirectory and add it - Click Refresh Script List in script manager
- There is now a PCode2C folder in the script manager. Go to it and click
