Help Please...lost all cpp files...how to decompile from .o?

Hi there,

unfortunately I've deleted all my cpp source file of my current project due to a mistake in my make file. My DataRecovery file was unable to detect them. As there is currently no elf or PRX file available, but compiled .o files, is there a way to "decompile" these file to get the possebility to restore the source ?

Any help is much appricieated. Google does return many results, and I hope some one of you guys can point me to the best tool/how to guide..

Many thanks in advance

Unfortunately you're pretty much stuffed. The very best you can hope for is assembler code annotated with any debug symbols that happen to be in your .o files.

Hi,
thanks. I havn't expected to recieve full source code. Some assembler may be enough unless it would be possible to see which methods or functions they are located in (debug info).

Any tools known ? pspdecompile needs an ELF, but i've only the .o-files

If you have all the *.o files, you can build the ELF easily; you could also use psp-objdump.

Hi,

thanks. I've tried this out, but it seem to be much more easy to start from scratch as it may take me more time to convert the asm code back to readable c/c++ code ;o)

Meanwhile: happy new year ;)
