I don't think it is decidable even when you have the compiler available to you - what happens if I decide to insert a bunch of assembly code in my gcc-compiled program using the gcc embedded assembly extensions? How do I decide that a particular sequence of generated op-codes is actually impossible from pure C code, and hence must have been assembly in the original program?
