The problem with decompilers is that things like variable names, function names, class members, structure members, symbolic constants, and the like aren't preserved when source code is compiled into an executable; they all become offsets in memory or literal values. In decompilation, they just become generic names. Even the program structure may be altered by an optimizing compiler. This makes comprehending the structure and function of decompiled source code a mountain of detective work.

NAME
isalist - display the native instruction sets executable on this platform
SYNOPSIS
isalist
DESCRIPTION
isalist prints the names of the native instruction sets executable on this platform on the standard output, as returned by the SI_ISALIST
command of sysinfo(2).
The names are space-separated and are ordered in the sense of best performance. That is, earlier-named instruction sets may contain more
instructions than later-named instruction sets; a program that is compiled for an earlier-named instruction sets will most likely run
faster on this machine than the same program compiled for a later-named instruction set.
Programs compiled for instruction sets that do not appear in the list will most likely experience performance degradation or not run at all
on this machine.
The instruction set names known to the system are listed in isalist(5). These names may or may not match predefined names or compiler
options in the C language compilation system,
