hiding the source code

shoonya

Hi,

i am working on a mobile platform written in C.

There are certain functions (3rd party codes) called in the source code, which are only present in header (.h file), and their definition is not there.

Now, where exactly (in which type of file) is the definition of these functions present and how the whole mechanism of hiding the source code works ?

(It's obvious that i can not see the source code.)

The actual code for the functions will have been released to you as pre-compiled binary files, either objects or libraries that you then link you program against.

The source code is not hidden, the 3rd party have it, you just don't have it.

I have a customer with an extensive intranet which contains a lot of sensitive company data. The client is concerned that any employee could download source code back to removable storage and thereby steal the data. Printing is considered publicly risky and other capture methods of visble screens would be too clumsy and outside the capability of most. So we have been asked to make the source "invisible" or at least extremely...

Hi, first, python is one of my fav languages, and i'll definitely keep developing with it. But, there's 1 one thing what I -really- miss: data hiding. I know member vars are private when you prefix them with 2 underscores, but I hate prefixing my vars, I'd rather add a keyword before it. Python advertises himself as a full OOP language, but why does it miss one of the basic principles of OOP? Will it ever be added to python?

I've spent a decent amount of time programming in Java, and the overhead of assigning a too-restrictive privacy level (which happens a lot, once privacy levels are in the language) has cost me an immense amount of time. I've lost count of how often I've had a software package which made an element non-public, in many cases for no apparent...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
