How is "obfuscating" the source code and keeping the "unobfuscated code" secret any different, compared to compiling it and keeping the source code secret?
The only difference I can see is, that it doesn't run as fast as compiled code. Is that a "benefit"?
So the best code obfuscators are still "gcc" and "strip". ;-)
