someone i knew a while back once told me that its easier to steal the source code than decompile c++

Decompiler?! Miau?!

This entirely depends on what you're attempting to decompile. You would want to reverse the compiler pipeline which is often impossible because most languages lose most information while compiling. C# for example retains most info and thus can be decompiled very nicely. C++ loses a lot of info, and is very difficult to impossible.
