No. Information is lost when you compile your program using any normal
compiler (a compiler could theoretically include the complete source in
the executable if it felt like it, but none do that I know of)
What you can get (in theory) is something that when compiled will produce
an executable that does the same thing as the original executable. (the
two may even be identical)
That won't help you though, I have seen such code (from gcc compiled
executable) from very simple example programs (like "Hello world" or
"print 1 to 10") and it isn't pretty and doesn't resemble the original
program much. (and I expect it had been even worse if gcc had used
optimizations when compiling)
This is a faq! You did read the faq before asking didn't you? Well you
probably missed this:
