#161164 - erratic and not logical
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Michael Malloy said:
when I follow the code it seems to be erratic and not logical ... so I have assumed that it was written in c or very terrible assembler


This is precisely the reason why it is not possible to convert from assembler back to the original 'C' source!

You must, surely, be aware of how difficult it is to debug highly-optimised 'C' code even when you do have the original source - precisely because of the way that the compilation and optimisation processes give machine code output with very little resemblance to the structure of the original high-level source...!
