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,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
