#93963 - asm-to-C compiler
Responding to: ???'s previous message
As shown by others here, it is practically impossible to get back the original C-program from the binary.

But in principle, it is always possible to translate a program from one language to another. So one could easily imagine a asm-to-C compiler. The result would be legal in C and after recompilation probably working (at least algorithmically, the timings, exact code/variables placement etc. will be off), but it is not worth doing it at all - the C program would completely miss any logical structure, "human readable" variable names etc. - i.e. all those elements, which make the "higher level" language more easily understandable.
