infinite loop? wakaru unminify runs forever

[milahu]

Describe the bug

im trying to decompile a 3MB file

wget https://boxy-svg.com/elements/apps/bx-progressivewebapp.js
node packages/cli/dist/cli.cjs unminify bx-progressivewebapp.js

the process is using a maximum of 2GB RAM

there are 13 processes running node packages/cli/dist/cli.cjs
1 process is busy at 100% cpu
12 processes are idle at 0% cpu

wakaru runs at least 60 minutes, probably forever...

i guess that wakaru is running into some anti-debugger trap
which is causing an infinite loop, aka deadloop

This script is obfuscated. I just tried decoding it with https://github.com/j4k0xb/webcrack, and it seems to work.

Wakaru does not provide "deobfuscate" features; you can still use other tools to deobfuscate the source and use Wakaru to further improve the readability.

But I will check the performance issue and possible infinite loop. Thanks for the input. 🙏

For the process thing you mentioned, the cli can only process one file on one core; it's being used for unminifying multiple files.

I just tried wakaru unminify with the decode code. Total time: 7m5s

The AST parsing is super expensive, I will try to do some perf and see how to reduce the cost.
