Purebasic decompiler?

I heared about a Purebasic decompiler in this forum. Unfortunately, I just found one Link which does not work. My Question:

-Is such a Decompiler legal? If yes, can you say where I can get it?
If not, Why?

you heard bulls*t of course. you can't decompile a machinecode executable, you can only disassemble them .

There is no such thing. The "decompiler" that was once posted here was a joke.

"A newbie comes running in to get a decompiler!"

Just wait until you start asking us to help you code. :)

I'm never nice to newbies who come running in looking to decompile other people's code.

Anyone trying to decompile my code would need a de-spaghettifying module as well! :)

No de-spaghettifying, gb-spaghettifying :wink:
German don't use spaghetti to code :lol:

Hmmmm, Srod, ever considered that the decompiled version of your code might be MORE readable? (Now, that's a scary thought, isn't it? :twisted: )

Hmmm. Take it easy. But if it's your second post, AND if you took a good look at the nature of PureBasic, you may have noticed it's a compiler, not a processor. It's a REAL compiler, not just a sort of wrapper. So obviously, you cannot decompile programs.

Hey, translated into Swahili via Esparanto via c++, my code would be more readable than it is normally! It takes a special kind of idiot to be able to read my code! :wink:

No, kaktusbombe, there does not exist such a thing.

However, thinking twice:
do you all really think there is fully impossible to decompile machine code to C, C++, PB, etc.? emmhh!
I can imagine it, which means it might be done. :)

Anyway: don't try it NEVER :shock:
