Can you decompile exe file which is made by using C++ language?

I have made an application by using C/C++ language.


And I'm going to sell that program to someone.


I give an application (*.exe) to him first, and after he pays, I'm giving him the source code.


But I'm wondering if the buyer can decompile the program to get a source code after he received the exe file without paying.


Please give me an enough answer to this question.


(If you give me your e-mail address that I can discuss with you people about this question, I'll be glad and thank you.

The answer is yes. Many decompilers exists but one of the most popular is Salamander.

Reply:The short answer is no, not really. At least not in the sense that they would get the exact same source code as you wrote.





The slightly longer answer is yes, you can decompile and look at the assembly. No matter what you do, your code will always be subject to reverse engineering. This is non-trivial though.





Generally most people are honest and good, they will pay for what you sell (if they want it)
Reply:decompiler, it should be available.


some where... who know?





but don't worry, it's a risk for us as programmer.
