Sometimes when decompiling Java code, the decompiler doesn't manage to decompile it properly and you end up with little bits of bytecode in the output. What are the weaknesses of decompilers? Are there any examples of Java source code that compiles into difficult-to-decompile bytecode? Update: Note that I'm aware that exploiting this ...
For what purposes would you want to obfuscate your code?

Without changing the build process or including the source files, can anyone think of a way to make two pieces of code that, when compiled, generates the same assembly but still executes differently? I already know why this should be impossible, so please don't bother to explain. There are definitely ways to do it, primarily by finding ...
