Hello,
when i explore a dll or exe with an editor (ultraedit) then i find in the near of the file end C source code as text.

why that?
- is this trash from the compiler?
- is this for the debugger?
- is this interpreted at startup or runtime?

I took a look at several files in the windows folder. notepad.exe, ping.exe etc, as well as several dll I have compiled myself and found no c source code.
May you provide some examples of COMMON files in which you have observed this peculiar thing?

Its probably debug symbols if it was compiled for a debug state
also if it mentions PDB around there then its debug stuff. Try loading it into symbol loader.


yates.

very sorry about this:
1. in one file there are a lot of format strings in normal data section -> normal.

2. i have lost a VXD file, created with software from VIREO.
In a newer version there are no such parts look like C source.

THX for your comment
