The .rdata section typically stores RTTI metadata, while the .data section contains initialized global objects. The .text section holds executable code, including the Delphi RTL and VCL functions statically linked into the binary.

Unlike C++ (which compiles directly to raw machine code, losing all metadata) or .NET (which is intentionally high-level and easy to decompile), Delphi 7 occupies a "sweet spot" for reverse engineering. borland delphi 7 decompiler

Active Best for: Extracting raw resources and forms. While not a standalone decompiler, the Lazarus IDE includes tools to parse Delphi forms. Used in conjunction with binutils (objdump), you can manually reconstruct a project. This is the "archaeological" approach. Active Best for: Extracting raw resources and forms

Decompilation is the process of analyzing and disassembling compiled code back into a higher-level programming language, making it readable and understandable by humans. Decompilers are tools that perform this task, taking the compiled binary code as input and producing a reconstructed source code as output. This is the "archaeological" approach

DeDe's analysis engine is built on deep knowledge of Delphi compiler internals. It performs comprehensive PE structure parsing and identifies Delphi-specific sections where RTTI, initialized global objects, and VCL code are stored. The tool automatically detects the Delphi compiler version by scanning for signatures such as Borland Delphi 5's $BORLAND marker or Delphi 7's TApplication initialization patterns.

During compilation, local variable names, arguments, and internal comments are completely stripped away. They do not exist in the final .exe file.
