How to convert .exe files to source files of C++?

Question

we can make. exe files using compiler ide and linker but can anyone tell me how to reverse this and edit an app

Answer 1

it is next to impossible.
except if it is open source, so the developer can give the source code.
but directly convert exe to C++ is ...yeah
next to impossible.

Answer 2

You can only revert to asm (barely) if you know how to use a hexadecimal editor and know instruction opcodes in binary.

Answer 3

@luka, no. See this:

Answer 4

you can't decompile c++ to source code because c++ does not have intermediate language.

you can convert it to assembly.

when i decompile a.simple hello world program it gives me.an assembly file which has more than 1000 line.

Answer 5

Yes, indeed you can. There are a few Decompilers available for this very purpose. Examples of these are CodeReflect, and JustDecompile. However, you should be aware that if this is industrial code, or closed source, the source code will be obfuscated.
