High Level Language Translator with Machine Code as Representation of the Source Code

High level programming languages are usually implemented as compilers, interpreters, pseudo compilers, just in time compilers and compact form interpreters. All of the mentioned approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. The approach proposed in this paper eliminates need for source code as physical entity, making the native machine code the only file that exists and is archived, while the special viewer/editor shows and edits it in a form understandable as a high level language. The viewer/editor acts as integrated all-in-one editor, decompiler and incremental compiler.
