Famous Last Words: You can't decompile a C++ program
The Great Jack Schitt writes "I've always heard that you couldn't decompile a program written with C++. This article describes how to do it. It's a bit lengthy and it doesn't seem like the author usually writes in English, but it might just work (haven't tried it, but will when I have time)."
Now even the story posters don't read or verify the articles they're posting...
Teenagers these days don't have as much sex as they want each other to think they do.
Yes I have a mirror of it. But unfortunately your mom is using it to snort coke right now.
Yes, exaclty: This is just Microsoft trying to tell us that .net will not make your source code less secure. If it is already possible to decompile C++, surely it won't matter that in .net it will be much easier?
Anyone who's ever taken a course in computer organization and design and understands a high-level programming language such as C++ should immediately have flags going off in their head about this article. Of course, the Slashdot editors, most of whom have no real education of computer engineering, do not recognize real work from fluff.
This article is fluff, and it's innaccurate, and it misleads today's youth who are trying to learn computers.
Assembly can be written. C++ can be written. I even have friends who can write major programs in binary code (yes, just 1s and 0s). But binary can only sometimes be translated into slightly-readable assembly code. And even then it's a stretch. Nonsensical assembly code can just barely survive on its own, yet alone be translated to C++ like this article suggests.
I work for SGI. I make nearly 6 figures. I know programming, and I damn well know computers. I've been working since 1968 in the computing industry. This article is utter and complete nonsense, and I'm ashamed to have even clicked the link.
Equivalent, that is. I fix my typos - grammar trolls can all suck on my shit.
I fixed your mom's breath with my dick.
That is usually a sign that you should clean the thick layer of dried cum off your monitor.
Lay off on the gay pron, cheffago.
Typos aren't grammar problems, dickhead.
My name is Gautam Godse. I think iPhoto is the best program ever invented.
