Ideas from some other projects

• ME Loader: https://github.com/peterbjornx/meloader

More Longer Term

Windows

• Merge Wine's dll.so
• https://www.winehq.org/

Linux

• Merge LKL
• https://github.com/lkl/linux

Androids

• It's Linux, but a bit more specific support ?
• maybe an OS by itself

More Instrument-able Engines

• Java bytecode
• Javascript

Suggestion: contribution guidelines (see #479)

implement the missing APIs
implement missing syscalls

I think a milestone or a separate issue with a checklist would be of great help to new contributors, like the following:

• mmap
• mprotect

and so on.

Cool, can you help to list it out.

In that case we need to provide a binary too and more detailed example :)

[wtdcode]

Maybe a developer guide would help?

Javascript

How would this work? If we can somehow link in V8, we can also put in WASM support if need be, but would Qiling hook into Ignition or something like that?

Finally, here it comes :).

See https://docs.qiling.io/en/latest/contribution/ .

No idea with Javascript yet. there are wish list. some of them got no clear path and idea yet.
