How to check if a COM DLL was generated from given source code ? [modified]
-
Hi, my IT department have doubts if the COM components in production environment really correspond to the source code in the visual source safe. It's the hard truth. So...I'm searching for methods to verify is the source code is valid. Just recompiling the source and compare the generated DLL with the DLL in production environment is not a valid way. As I have seen, even on sequential compilations the generated DLLs (with binary compatibility) are different, and not only on some bytes (like timestamps) as I thought. I'm also thinking about building a tool to extract the typelibraries to compare them, it's not the final comparison but can help in cases the interface is different. Any ideas ? A comparison tool telling Yes or No (the two COM DLLs are the same or not) would be my dream :) EDIT: the source code is VB6. Thanks for any help.
