Code-dump For Mac

Code-dump is an Objective C program that decompiles PPC Objective C programs on Mac OS X, relying on their inherently structured format.

The general idea behind decompilation is to reverse the stages of a compiler. Core-dump doesn't do that at all. Instead, code-dump relies on the structured nature of Objective-C.

Code-dump simulates the effect of all PPC instructions contained in the Cocoa program and creates Objective-C which should have the same effect.

1. DECOMPILING TAKES A LONG TIME. So before you run off to decompile an enormous Objective-C program, be sure to first run code-dump sans -d switch to see the classes. Then use code-dump's -C switch in which you can specify a single class to study. Only decompile ONE class at a time. 2. Code-dump IS ONLY INTENDED for recovering source code to your OWN applications, testing on OPEN SOURCE applications, or in certain situations, testing on applications where the AUTHOR HAS GIVEN EXPLICIT PERMISSION DIRECTLY TO YOU. In general, refer to the DMCA if the U.S. is your country of residence (or your country's laws if not). By using Code-dump, you are AGREEING to these terms. You take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for what you do with code-dump.
