C Decompiler?

[motionman95]

Today is a sad day. I've lost all my C source code for my RockLock plugin. I was replacing my old rockbox (3.1) source folder with the new version (3.2) and had cleared the recycle bin before I realized that I had deleted my RockLock.c file. Are there any C decompilers? and what tips do you have to prevent this from happening again? Thanks!

Use SVN. You can update source code and preserve your changes.

Using the source tarball is basically the worst way you can do it and shouldn't be used if you intend to do any serious development.

Or even better, get used to git (git-svn), then you can also make local commits.

or even better, make backups
edit: and no, there are no C "decompilers", you'd have to disassemble the code and write c code from that yourself so rewriting the plugin from scratch is probably a lot faster.

IDA comes with a pretty usable X86 C decompiler.

I assume you mean http://www.hex-rays.com/decompiler.shtml.
a quote from that page:

It converts executable programs into a human readable C-like pseudocode text.

so it doesn't output real c code, oh and it costs over 2000USD

Correct

Yes I know it is quite expensive, but it's the closest thing I've seen to a C decompiler.

if it is for x86 code , there is a decompiler, I don't know really if it is good or not :
