C++ Newb

I don't know if something like this is taboo or "copyright" territory so give a guy a break.

I'm wondering if there is some kind of program out there that would display (real-time) the coding for a running/selected program. For instance, I would be running Firefox and this other program would tell me all the coding details of what's happening on the programming level.

What I'm hoping to do is basically splice bits and pieces of programs together, as well as add individual custom code, giving me a program hybrid allowing things like; save+print, firefox opens 2 windows, etc...

Code is compiled to assembly. After it's compiled it's almost impossible to reverse it. So no, there is no such program.

You can't turn hamburger back into a cow. So your answer is "No", this is not possible.

Well that sounds like some sort of a remote debugger. Try Windbg.

Well no, not Firefox, you would have to have the source to do that.

Well what you want is an API, you may not realize it, since you are new to C++.

The word "mash-up" comes to mind. Maybe you can Google it. In other words you want to integrate a bunch of applications into a new application.
