How safe is a .lib file ?

Generally a coder wish to distribute his/her work but not
the source (perhaps it is based on license fees or similar)

The question is how hard is it to reverse engineer a
.lib file (generated by MsDev)

How safe is a .a .so .o file in Unix ? (created by gcc)

Are there any switches I need to enable in order to get higher safety ?
