Topic created on: February 17, 2008 14:10 CST by bepetemish .

Long time ago i made an application in C++.
Now I want to decompile it back to source code.
I got the executable and program debug database file wich got debug information.

Is it possible the generate readable and recompilable source?
Are their < $200 tools that can do this?

afaik Hex-Rays only works well for C code, it doesn't officially support C++.

So the answer is: No.

Hex-Rays cheap ass site tho..

Ill check it out.

I wouldn't say hexrays doesn't support C++ code reconstruction, it just depends on your interactivity ;-)

new version has a really cool feature btw:

Well, it doesn't support C++ classes and notation (yet?). Only their representation as structures + functions.

This is one great plugin!!!
If I only manage to generate a .exe from the changes i made in IDA Pro then i succesfully did what i wanted.
