Even if it's not, decompilation might be useful. What I'd try is decompiling both the running version and the build of the available source code, and see if the diff is informative.
- ma2rten 8y agoLast time I checked x86 decompilers were not that useful. They were producing code that is not compilable, often completely failing on more complex, translating code compiler boilerplate into code. This was a while ago so maybe things improved since then.
- dllthomas 8y agoThe goal here is some window into "what changed". For that, we don't need "compilable", and boilerplate won't be an issue provided it's stable (by no means guaranteed, to be sure). If I had to bet at even odds, I'd bet against it being useful. But the win is potentially large and the effort isn't.
