Ssccj: System for source to source conversion from c++ to java for efficient computing in iot era

Abstract

Automatic language conversion can easily find its use in the industry as from time to time projects get migrated from one language to another for better suitability to new requirements. This requires manually translating the code from one language to another, which is tedious and time consuming. In this paper, we propose a system for converting C++ source code to Java code such that readability is preserved. Past researches are not able to translate features like pointers, multiple inheritance, friend function, etc. Since there are no direct equivalents present in Java, this paper attempts to substitute the features including Multiple Inheritance, Preprocessor Directives, and Friend Functions. These converted codes will provide ease to computer programmers thereby reducing their programming efforts. This paper represents the conversion of existing C++ high-level language code to Java language source code to provide the ease to the software engineer working on diverse platforms in the present era of Internet of Things.
