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.
