Open Source Code Generators

SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different types of target languages including common scripting languages such as Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby. The list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as C#, D, Go language, Java, Lua, OCaml, Octave, R and Scilab as well as the Guile implementation of the Scheme language. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG is typically used to parse C/C++ interfaces and generate the 'glue code' required for the above target languages to call into the C/C++ code. SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML.

Open-source, free, multi-platform BASIC compiler, with syntax similar MS-QuickBASIC (including the GFX statements), that adds new features such as pointers, unsigned data types, inline assembly, a pre-processor and many others.

GCBASIC is an open-source BASIC compiler for 8 bit Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR legacy, AVRDx and LGT microcontrollers. See https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Story-of-GCBASIC-Making-Microcontroller-Progr-D1D319SJ72 for story of GCBASIC. This is a continuous release project. The latest release is always available. This will give you the most complete development toolchain to create and program 8-bit PIC, AVR and LGT microcontrollers. We have added new capabilities that make GCBASIC the easiest tool set available - supporting over 1400 microcontrollers with tools to make this fun and simple. Please see the download section for your options. We have two IDEs, we have just the compiler and we have a minimal install - it is your choice. Please see the homepage here: https://gcbasic.com

Lazarus is a free and open source development tool for the Free Pascal Compiler. The purpose of this project is to serve as a Code Repository, Wiki Knowledgebase and support site for converting existing components and libraries to work with Lazarus and the Free Pascal Compiler.

The goal of this project is to provide a generator for lexical analyzers of maximum computational efficiency and maximum range of applications. This includes the support for Unicode (UTF8, UTF16, ...) and a large variety of other encodings directly and via nested converters such as ICU(tm) and IConv. Sophisticated buffer handling allows to operate on plain file streams, on sockets, or manually fed buffer content. 'Ready-to-build' examples explain related concepts and facilitate practical applications.

Jad Java decompiler plugin for Eclipse IDE.

The Art of Coding: maXbox is a script tool engine, compiler and source lib all in one exe to design and code your scripts in a shellbook! It supports Pascal, Delphi (VCL), Python (P4D), PowerShell and Java Script (Edge WebView).

The aim of this project is to develope a decompiler for java which is platform independent and has options to obfuscate the class file also. The project takes class file as input and decompiles it and provides the source file.

An open source COBOL compiler for the PC x86-32 platform. Generates GNU assembler and requires GCC to produce a binary. Supports Linux, BSD and MinGW 32 bit platforms.

SMC takes a state machine stored in a .sm file and generates a State pattern in 14 programming languages. Includes: default transitions, transition args, transition guards, push/pop transitions and Entry/Exit actions. See User Manual for more info.

4tH is a Forth compiler with a little difference. Instead of the standard Forth engine it features a conventional compiler. 4tH is a very small compiler that can create bytecode, C-embeddable bytecode, standalone executables, but also works fine as a scripting language. It supports about 95% of the ANS Forth CORE wordset and features conditional compilation, pipes, files, assertions, forward declarations, enumerations, structures, suspended execution, recursion, include files, etc. It comes with an RPN calculator, BASIC interpreter, line editor, preprocessor, compiler, decompiler, C-source generator, a virtual machine, and a multitasking environment.

"Aubit 4GL" is a project to make GPL, OpenSource, Informix-4GL compatible compiler, and continue to extend functionality needed to write most efficient and productive business related, database oriented applications. See "Home Page" link for more.

z390 Portable Mainframe Assembler and Emulator

After a program has been thrown into the world in binary form, it can boomerang back as source code. The Boomerang reverse engineering framework is the first general native executable decompiler available to the public.

jdec is a Java Decompiler. It can be used to reverse the bytecodes present in a .class File to produce a Java Source File which can be nearly correct or equivalent (Due To different Interpretations) to the original java file.[With UI & command line]

GLBCC is a front-end to the GNU Compiler Collection. GLBCC adds Liberty Basic to the GCC language collection so that Liberty Basic code can be compiled directly to an executable. Since GLBCC uses GCC, the object files can also be linked with object file

SableCC is a parser generator which generates object-oriented frameworks for building compilers, interpreters and other text parsers. SableCC keeps a clean separation between machine and user code which leads to a shorter development cycle.

Retrotranslator is a tool that makes Java applications compatible with Java 1.4, Java 1.3 and other environments.

Unfortunately this project has been suspended. If you wish to continue its development on your own, please feel free to contact me. UnPyc is a tool for disassembling, analyzing and decompiling Python's *.pyc and *.pyo files. UnPyc supports Python 2.5, 2.6.

The same BYACC tool used produce C/C++ parsers, with an added capability to produce small, fast Java parsers instead.

JFlex is a flex-like lexer generator for Java with emphasis on speed and full Unicode support. It has some not so usual features like negation in regexps and nested input streams. Also reads JLex specifications unchanged.

ELFIO is a header-only C++ library intended for reading and generating files in the ELF binary format

CIL (C Intermediate Language) compiles C programs into a simplified subset of C and assists with program analysis and transformation.

JavaGuard is a general purpose bytecode obfuscator, designed to fit effortlessly into your regular build and testing process, providing peace of mind that your valuable Java code is more secure against decompilation and other forms of reverse engineering

Object Tree, Virtual Machine and Compiler for Concatenative Languages, in a shared library - [This project is obsolete, and has been superseeded by the XCL suit, available at http://www.varkhan.net/software/xcl]
