Hi!
Probably the easiest step is to switch code optimization on, and debug
symbols off.
With GNAT, with -O2 you are certainly on the safe side.
If you switch on cross-unit inlining (-gnatn) and perhaps also set
loop unrolling, peeling, and unswitching (-funroll-loops -fpeel-loops -
funswitch-loops), it should make reverse engineering very hard.
In case you need debug symbols, there is an Ada identifier obfuscator
IIRC.
