Hi ,

can i how how to check the compiler by seeing the ASSEMBLY code of the file ?
i.e. whether the file is compiled by Visual c++ , Visual Basic or Borland Delphi ?

Thanks..

You can use a WINDOWS port of the Unix strings utility to see what (if any) identifying text is contained.

It HELPS if you know, even vaguely, what to look for:

example:

Code: [Select]C:\FFmpeg\ffmpeg-git-1eabd71-win64-static\bin>strings ffmpeg.exe | find /i "gcc"
gcc
--prefix=/home/kyle/software/ffmpeg/packages/libvpx/libvpx-v0.9.7-p1-win64 --target=x86_64-win64-gcc
90%%  LAME compiled with buggy VERSION of gcc using advanced optimizations
Code: [Select]C:\avisub>strings AviSub.exe | find /i "delphi"
\Delphi\RTL
