Howdy Guys,
Happy New Year and all that business. I just got a distress call from a
friend of mine, who was doing a bit of coding on the bus.
He inadvertantly mixed up his command line call to g++, and passed an old
object file as the source code, and the source code file as the -o output
name.
The short of it, his source code is gone bye bye, and he [bad man] had not
,made any recent backups of his file, nor had he used cvs or rcs [/end of
bad man].
Is there any way he can recover his source code file?
Cheers for any info,
R
p.s. my opinion is that its gone, as doesnt g++ delete any non fully
compiled object files?
