Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

C Decompiler?

(1/2) > >>

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!

Llorean:
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.

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

nls:
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.
