Fernando...
The short answer is that no such thing as a C/C++ decompiler is available.
The long answer (which explains *why* it's not possible) is available in
SNIPPETS - see DECOMPILE.TXT, which follows this message.
There are such things available on the Web, but they're useless for any
serious application. Most of the decompilers which have been written have
been the product of postgraduate theses in Computer Science. I've collected
several of them and they're all hardly worth the effort to download unless
you're doing research on the subject.
Disassemblers, OTOH, are quite common and vary in usefulness. Of course,
they only get you back to assembly code, which is a long way from C/C++
source code!
