Title: C Reverse Engineer
Post by: ms_butterfly on July 29, 2004, 05:50:12 am

Hi!
Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to re-engineer C code? no C++, no c#...only "pure" C...
thanx!

And what would constitute an object?!
How do you model functions?

IMO this is a case of thinking a good OO tool can do things for non-OO projects....and I cant see how the tool could usefully produce anything...

Id rather the guys spent their time fixing c++ problems... :)

Well, if you really need C : why don't you try

And share the results, either successfull or success-less, with the forum and (if successfull) with Sparx.

Greetz,

Ok, I have executed some few tests with a C code I got...
EA imports only the classes of the code, contained in the .h file. So it hasn't imported anything from my file, because it had any class.
If someone had tested it too, I'd be glad in knowing the results...
