decompile third-party shared libraries in solaris

Question

Is it possible to decompile third-party shared libraries built for solaris into C code?

Answer 1

Sort of. The short answer is: not really well.

The long answer is to read what REC and other "reverse" compilers do.

Maybe try here REC:

try Rational Rose as well:

They can create C. or C++. Whether you can read it is another story.
