We may offer you complete solutions for automated conversion of
source code written in an obsolete, proprietary, or special purpose
language to industry standard C/C++.
Our converters generate ANSI C/C++ code which is highly
readable and maintainable.
We may easily adapt our converters to your needs, such as corporate
standards of source code formatting, specific requirements and
limitations of the target environment, etc.
For smaller code bases, we use semi-automated mode, when most of the code
is converted automatically, and our engineers do the rest by hand, i.e.
replacing calls to obsolete libraries by the use of modern APIs.
Automated conversion saves you a considerable amount of time and manpower,
and helps you avoid conversion errors
that are inevitable with manual code re-writing.
Technical Background
Most legacy languages have simple syntactic structure similar to the Pascal line of languages,
so the main concerns are not parsing issues, but generation of high-quality, readable and
maintainable C++ code.
Since early nineties, Excelsior team has been developing a framework for automated translation
from Pascal-like languages to C/C++.
The resulting converters preserve placement of all comments and
correctly translate conditional compilation directives.
The technology was built off our XDS-C Modula-2/Oberon-2 "via C" compiler,
and then used for several conversion projects, including those listed in the "Sample Projects" column to the right.
