Fission

vendor/ manifest

Last verified: 2026-05-02

The vendor/ directory contains third-party source and reference trees. It exists for comparison, invariants, and build-time FFI/data — not as a place to grow Fission-specific business logic.

Roots (summary)

Path	Contents	Typical use
ghidra/	Ghidra release / build extracts	Reference for Sleigh, decompiler behavior, file formats
retdec-5.0/	RetDec sources (MIT)	Reference algorithms and regression thought experiments
libsla/, libsla-sys/	Sleigh library and sys crate	Build-time / runtime linkage per docs/build/BUILD.md
binaries/	Small test/reference binaries with per-file licenses	Controlled test inputs (review license headers)

Rules

1. Do not copy vendor code into crates/fission-* wholesale. Prefer thin adapters and cite upstream in PRs when porting ideas.
2. Reference-only trees (Ghidra UI, RetDec monolith) must not become hidden runtime dependencies without an ADR and release checklist update (docs/RELEASE.md).
3. License detail and update steps: THIRD_PARTY.md.
