Software source code language translation system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a software source code language translation system and method. The system comprises a program object model management module, a program object model, a conversion rule base, a source code resolving module, a program object model conversion engine and a target language generating module, wherein the program object model management module is used for managing the program object model used as a translation intermediate product, the management on the program object model includes the model creating, storage, inquiry and modification, the conversion rule base is used for managing the source code resolving rule, the model conversion rule and the code generating rule, the source code resolving module is used for executing the source code resolving rule and converting a software source code text into an equivalent structurized program object model, the program object model conversion engine is used for executing the model conversion rule and performing conversion on the program object model, and the target language generating model is used for executing the code generating rule and generating the target language source code. The system and the method have the advantages that configurable rules are introduced, the universal function of the source code language translation can be reused, and the sufficient customization capability can be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer program language compilation, in particular to a software source code language translation system and method. Background technique [0002] During the development of computer software, the programming language used to develop software is constantly updated. So far the software field has accumulated a very large number of software programs written in early programming languages. It is inefficient to maintain and extend software written in older programming languages, and fewer and fewer programmers are proficient in those languages. In order to promote continuous business development, it is necessary to translate software programs from old programming languages ​​to equivalent new programming languages. [0003] The process of program language translation is cumbersome, monotonous and repetitive, and error-prone, so it is suitable for automatic translation tools. The development of automatic translation ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There are the following problems to be solved in the development of automatic translation tools: First, due to the variety of source languages ​​and target languages ​​that require translation, developing a set of automatic translation tools for each combination will inevitably lead to the waste of repeated functional development

Secondly, even if the source language to be translated is the same, the translation results of the same style cannot meet the requirements of different users for the structure and writing style of the target language program
