I've been examining some compiled code with OllyDbg. I've noticed that I can see the names of classes, functions, and variables. Is OllyDbg extrapolating this information from my source code? Or, is this information actually contained in the compiled code?
No, the "debug information" comes either from some separate "symbol files" or are present inside the executable itself. The debugger does not read the source code, but can match the debug information to the source code so you can see source code instead of assembly.
