A compiled program doesn't have C++ Code. As it's got many characters which
will
be misinterpreted by a normal ASCII editor you have to view it in hex mode.
You
can use the editor of mc (midnight commander) for instance to view it in hex
mode.
But what you'll see won't be very informational.
You would have to disassemble the file to be able to really 'read' it.
