[ILUG] Someone made a booboo - Call for help

[Richard Eibrand]

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?
