As annouced previously, we just release the Free and Professional editions of VBReFormer 6.4.

This new version improve such a lot the decompiler engine and this is one of the most important release I’ve done until now.

The decompiler engine has been improved as it can now perform variable type determination. This means that VBReFormer is now able to guess the type of a variable and argument from its use inside the code.

We also added for/next support, and multi-dimensional array-related statements decompilation.

Example:

Original source code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim myArr1(0 To 20, 14 To 50, 25 To 45) As String
    MsgBox UBound(myArr1)
    MsgBox LBound(myArr1)
    Dim myArr2() As Long
    ReDim myArr2(0 To 40, 30 To 55)
    MsgBox UBound(myArr2)
    MsgBox LBound(myArr2)
End Sub

Recovered source code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim var_2 (0 To 20, 14 To 50, 25 To 45) As String
    var_3 = MsgBox(UBound(var_2, 1), 0)
    var_8 = MsgBox(LBound(var_2, 1), 0)
    Dim var_9() As Long
    ReDim var_9(0 To 40, 30 To 55)
    var_10 = MsgBox(UBound(var_11, 1), 0)
    var_12 = MsgBox(LBound(var_11, 1), 0, , , var_13)
End Sub
