The aim of obfuscation is to make it hard(er) for decompilers to work, not make it unreadable.
The trouble in attempting to get from the output of "gcc -O2" back to C code (in comparison to "gcc -g") is the aim.
Yeh, I understand that quite well. The point was that all a decompiler has to do is play pseudo-JVM and you've got byte code that can be translated to java.
Translating asm back into C isn't that hard. People forget that you don't have to make the C look exactly like it did before the compile, all you have to do is make it do what the assembly tells you it's supposed to do.
Code isn't hard. People make it hard.
