Why is it so easy to decompile .NET IL code?
问题 Why is it so easy to decompile .NET IL-code into source code, compared to decompiling native x86 binaries? (Reflector produces quite good source code most of the time, while decompiling the output of a C++ compiler is almost impossible.) Is it because IL contains a lot of meta data? Or is it because IL is a higher abstraction than x86 instructions? I did some research and found the following two usefull articles, but neither of them answers my question.
