## 中文

MemMap Explorer 是一个 Windows 桌面应用，专注于分析 linker MAP 文件、ELF 二进制以及已保存分析结果中的 **内存布局、区域、Section、Object 与 Symbol 数据**。

本仓库是基于 [WinDirStat](https://github.com/windirstat/windirstat) 修改而来的**衍生项目**。它保留了 WinDirStat 经典的目录树与 Treemap 交互方式，同时扩展到了内存区域、Section、Object、Symbol 以及导入分析数据等场景。

### 软件作用

MemMap Explorer 适合用于可视化分析大型二进制与链接结果数据，主要用途包括：

- 导入并查看 MAP / ELF 分析结果
- 浏览 memory region、section、object、symbol
- 在右侧详情面板查看结构化元数据
- 在可用时关联地址、大小、属性和源码行信息
- 导出并重新打开分析结果

### 为什么值得关注

- 如果你喜欢 WinDirStat 的交互方式，但又需要分析 **MAP / ELF / 符号 / 内存区域**，这个项目更合适
- 如果你在做 **嵌入式固件、链接产物、二进制体积分析、逆向定位**，这个项目更直接
- 如果这个项目对你有帮助，欢迎点一个 **Star**

### 主要特性

- 保留 WinDirStat 风格的导航与 Treemap 可视化
- 品牌升级为 **MemMap Explorer**
- 支持 MAP / ELF 导入分析流程
- 提供 region、section、object、symbol 的详细信息
- 支持 DWARF `.debug_line` 解析
- 支持导入内存数据时的区域选择
- 改进右侧详情面板以展示导入节点信息
- 修复 Top Files 视图中的悬空指针稳定性问题

## English

MemMap Explorer is a Windows desktop application focused on analyzing **memory layouts, regions, sections, objects, and symbols** from linker MAP files, ELF binaries, and saved analysis results.

This repository is a **modified derivative of [WinDirStat](https://github.com/windirstat/windirstat)**. It preserves the familiar tree and treemap workflow from WinDirStat while extending the project toward memory maps, regions, sections, objects, symbols, and imported-analysis scenarios.

### What it does

MemMap Explorer helps you inspect and navigate large binary and linker-analysis datasets visually.

It can be used to:

- import and inspect MAP- and ELF-based analysis data
- browse memory regions, sections, objects, and symbols
- inspect symbol metadata in a structured details pane
- correlate imported nodes with addresses, sizes, attributes, and source lines when available
- export and reopen collected results in supported formats

### Why it may be worth a Star

- It keeps the familiar WinDirStat interaction model while extending it to **MAP / ELF / symbol / memory-region** analysis
- It is useful for **embedded**, **firmware**, **binary size**, and **reverse-engineering** workflows
- If it saves you time, please consider giving the repository a **Star**

### Main features

- WinDirStat-style navigation and treemap visualization
- product rebrand to **MemMap Explorer**
- MAP/ELF import pipeline for non-filesystem analysis
- detailed per-node metadata for regions, sections, objects, and symbols
- DWARF `.debug_line` parsing for richer source mapping
- region selection workflow for imported memory data
- improved right-side details pane for imported analysis
- stability fixes, including stale-pointer cleanup in the largest-files view
