Hi, can anyone tell me if a library (.lib) that was generated by compiling some C source code with ARM in debug mode could be used to completely "see" the source code by some decompilation programme ?

Seriously unlikely.
Decompilation of compiled code works about as well as degrinding hamburgers back into cows. I.e., it doesn't.

Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
That's true. There's no way to reconstruct the original source code exactly (e.g. comments are completely gone).
However, though it's a bit tedious it's not that difficult to reverse-engineer the algorithms used by the original library -- especially if debug symbols are there.

Thanx for responding folks.
Do you know the way to reverse-engineer a library ? Is there any utility available ?
