  • BUGFIX: decompiler: fixed infinite loop while analyzing some golang binaries

  • BUGFIX: decompiler: fixed multiple interrs

  • BUGFIX: golang: fixed an interr caused by slice types with circular dependencies

  • BUGFIX: golang: remove unnecessary BUILTIN_SLICE type

  • BUGFIX: idaclang would fail to store mangled symbols in the TIL, which means the prototypes would not be detected when loading the TIL with the "Load type library" action)
