Analysis of Code Conversion System Development Problems.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of actual at present time problems of program code conversion and their practical solutions with usage of software development tools. The main problems of that domain are revealed and systemized, some ways of solving these problems are given. A structural mock-up of “Code converter” system is developed and presented. This system features source code translation from one language to another with usage of abstract syntax trees and several utility templates for emulation of language constructs, programming paradigms and standard library functions, which are non-existent in target languages.
