Source-Code Migration Using Decompilation
migration, source code, decompilation, Lissom, LLVM IR, Fortran, C/C++, D, Objective C/Objective C++
This paper deals with source code migration of high-level programming languages using decompilation. The developed migration tool is built on top of the middle-end and back-end of Lissom project decompiler. Several compilers generating LLVM IR code from an input language are discussed. Suitable compilers were integrated to the migration tool. Compiled LLVM IR code is an input of the decompilers optimizing middle-end. Output from the migration tool is a code in the C language or Python-like language generated by the back-end of the decompiler. Input languages are Fortran and its dialects, C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++, and D. The paper describes ways to improve quality and readability of the produced source code.
