The source code generated by a program like dcc will have almost no similarity to the original code.
That depends on the complexity of the program. Besides that, of course it won't have similarity to the original "C++ source", as the OP asked. I said it produces C source.

He didn't specify .NET.
No, but I did. I gave a specific answer to a general question. I don't see the problem.

People are still making C++ executables that do not use .NET, this isn't something that is "mid to late 90s".
I never said it was.

What do you consider "not that hard"?
Reading assembly. As someone who has written several thousand lines of asm for a single project, I can tell you that it's not that difficult. If you're coming from OOP in a high-level language, it may take a week or two before you begin "thinking in assembly", but once you do, it's no more difficult than reading any other source code.
