Hello...
What tool can decompile a DLL into C++ source code?
This might be impossible or at least very hard. The DLL's contents don't
depend (a lot) on it being written in C++; it's all machine code. That
code might have been optimized so a lot of information that was present
in the original source code is simply gone.
About obfuscation for FreePascal / Lazarus and Delphi compiled files
Just compiling with optimizations (-O2 and up) and stripping all debug
and profile information, and apply smartlinking, will make it almost
un-decompilable. Not only FPC, but also Delphi. I remember using
Delphi decompilers for Delphi 6 and they were unable to decompile any
actual code except resources.
Thank you,
