This is unbelievably confused.

1) The "source code" is *input* not output.
2) The output of a compiler is executable instructions.

Encrypted code is NOT customised code. Encrypted code will neither compile nor
execute unless you somehow build a seriously specialised tool to do this. I suggest
you learn how to do ROT-13 first.

OK. Demonstrate this. I bet you can't.

How will your programs run, then?

Hardly.

Simon knows where the compiler source that he is interested in is. Him not knowing
this disables nothing; somebody else will know.
