Description

Right now, the Iced disassembler only supports x86/amd64. It would be nice if we could support arm and arm64 as well because they are officially supported by .NET Core.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Iced disassembler’s architecture and the ReadyToRun format to identify gaps for ARM/ARM64 support. Extend Iced’s decoder for ARM instructions and handle ARM specific PE structures in ILSpy.ReadyToRun.
