## Decoding instructions
The first step to lifting is to decode the bytes of an instruction. This decoding step takes raw instruction bytes, and turns them into a higher-level [`Instruction`](/remill/Arch/Instruction.h) data structure. This data structure represents the logical operands to the machine code instructions. These operands have a one-to-one correspondence with arguments that will be passed to semantics functions.

## From architecture-specific to architecture-neutral
Decoded instructions must be lifted into a compatible function. Compatible functions are clones of the [`__remill_basic_block`](/remill/Arch/X86/Runtime/BasicBlock.cpp) function. The `__remill_basic_block` function is special because it defines local
variables that "point into" the [`State`](/remill/Arch/X86/Runtime/State.h)) structure, which represents the machine's register state.
