I have quite an unusual question to ask: how difficult would it be to reverse engineer Ada's compiled code?
I am sure this question must have come up several times in some circles, given that many Ada projects pertain to very sensitive fields such as military applications, and the possibility that a piece of equipment falls in the wrong hands is always there.

As a side question: are there any particular measures that one can take to make it harder for someone to reverse engineer Ada's compiled code?

Thanks
