Yes indeed. We handled goto into do-while statements wrong. Fixed now. Thanks!

That would be a bug in the translation. We'll investigate. Thanks!

Hahaha, cool!

I saw that ;-) The translation is: do { to.set((from = from.shift(1)).get(-1)); } while(--count > 0); which looks correct to me. Hence my question what orodley thinks is wrong.

Didn't think too much about it since there are many C specific analyzers and tools that do the same. Well, they do it way better. E.g. Valgrind.

Thank you! But of course a lot of development and money went into our translation framework. So the main aim has to be to make money with it. But as long as we have capacity, we're…

Can you elaborate on that? What's the C code, the translated Java code and your expected Java code? Thanks!

Yes, but it's way too limited for replicating what you can do with C pointers. Therefore we wrote our own classes.

Thanks! malloc() we only optimized for char* so far (there are endless possible optimizations when translating C the way we do). "(double* )malloc(sizeof(double) * 100)" should be …

Yep, supporting 90% of C took 10% of the time. Or even much less time. Native C libraries (libc, libmath, ...) are just directly used from Java, not translated. Yes, there is a lot…

Send us an email. We're currently getting overrun with requests but will handle it as fast as possible. Please note that the software needs to be in some public repository (github,…

Performance is of course lower. But it's impossible to put a number on it. Certainly native calls (printf, scanf, fopen, fread) add a lot of overhead. Also whenever the C memory la…

Yes. As long as it's non-commercial software.

True. But also adds a lot of complexity on top of an already very complex translation. But it's certainly something we'll look at in the future (together with supporting Cobol and …

It's easy to do a minimal prototype when doing research. But writing real translators means to get all the details right. In research we usually don't have the time for that. Trans…

Only in the form of translating and running dozens of C applications (programs and libraries) and running their testsuites. E.g. libcurl comes with a great extensive testsuite (a p…

I've seen many research papers on Java -> C translation during my PhD. Some of them came with a prototype tool. But as with previous work on C -> Java translation, none of the tool…

We translated dozens of open-source projects and decided to list only the interesting ones on the website and upload only the most interesting ones; The ones that are very well kno…

Main author here. Let me know if you have any questions. I’d be happy to answer.

There's a Java version of Vim here: https://www.mtsystems.ch/#section2 It's an automatic translation of the C version. Like tomp said 4 hours ago: Like vim, just slower.™

Why not? There's not that much of a difference between translating C to assembler or a high level language like Java/C#/Go. The main challenge is to make the code readable. But bas…
