decompiling

I had to de-compile some code and I don't know what this syntax is? Can y'all help, or point me to a write-up about what it is? I've Googled and searched this site and can't find anything. Just one line of code: Rectangle pageBounds; // ISSUE: explicit reference operation // ISSUE: variable of a reference type Rectangle& local = @pageBounds; What is the @ symbol at the end of the Rectangle object type, and the @ before the pageBounds variable? This is my last line of code that I need to fix in order to get this executable to compile again. Here's the method that uses this syntax, can I get

What language would I need to use? A bit like http://www.showmycode.com/ And could anyone point me in the right direction to get started? SWFTools - SWF manipulation and generation utilities You can install SWFTools distribution (which has also a command line program), and use SWFExtract , that can decompile flash files. On OSX, install via: brew install swftools . This will install tools such as: as3compile , font2swf , jpeg2swf , pdf2swf , png2swf , swfbbox , swfc , swfcombine , swfdump , swfextract , swfrender , swfstrings , wav2swf . swfextracts allows to extract swf movieclips and objects

I'm new to python, and I'm evaluating developing desktop programs with Python + PySide, and found that cx_freeze works very good in converting my python code into executables, and it's cross-platform. My question is, can someone else decompile an EXE generated by cx_freeze back to fully readable code , as if my original source code? Note: I'm not worried about someone cracking my program, but just don't want someone else can take my code and developed base on it. Thanks. In general - no. CX Freeze and py2exe store the PYC version of your code, the bytecode compiled from the PY files. Currently

I am working on recovering the source for an application for a client of mine. I have managed to recover the application code using .NET Reflector . But now I want to neaten the code and recreate the individual forms so will that I have the codebehind, designer and resx files for each form. The problem is that all the images are located in ".resources" files. How do I extract the images from these ".resources" files that were generated by Reflector? I would prefer to use some tool, rather than having to extract the images programmatically, but I will resort to code if I can't find a suitable

I've got a couple of really old MSDos based paint programs. They work on palette indexed image buffers. They have a number of spectacular shape drawing tools, brushes and effects that simply do not exist in any modern paint program- Particularly not whilst staying within the "bounds" of a low color palette indexed image. I would like to reproduce many of these wonderful tools in a modern program, to perhaps make them more accessible to myself and the general public again, without having to boot up an emulator like dosbox. But I have a problem. While a lot of these brushes and tools and things

I was discussing this with some friends and we began to wonder about this. Could someone gain access to URLs or other values that are contained in the actual objective-c code after they purchase your app? Our initial feeling was no, but I wondered if anyone out there had definitive knowledge one way or the other? I do know that .plist files are readily available. Examples could be things like: -URL values kept in a string -API key and secret values Yes, strings and information are easily extractable from compiled applications using the strings tool ( see here ), and it's actually even pretty

I have built a simple executable program with Go . I've compiled the code into a static binary program. I want to decompile the output binary file and get the Go source code. Is this possible or not? There is no tool to do that and as Go programs are compiled into machine code, they do not contain enough information to translate them back into Go code. Standard disassembly techniques are still possible though. There is no known tool which currently decompiles to Go sources. Go is a native language compiler, unlike Java and similar languages, which rely on a Class Loader, uses a linker in order
