Open Source Compilers

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. Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme/Racket) are supported. 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.

Jad Java decompiler plugin for Eclipse IDE.

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.

"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.

ASN.1 types and codecs (BER, CER, DER) implementation in Python programming language. A collection of various ASN.1-based protocols data structures is supplied in a dedicated Python package. Project moved to GitHub: https://github.com/etingof/pyasn1

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.

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.

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.

z390 Portable Mainframe Assembler and Emulator

Xsemantics is a DSL (implemented in Xtext itself) for writing type systems, reduction rules, interpreters (and in general relation rules) for languages implemented in Xtext. It then generates Java code that can be used in your language implemented in Xtext for scoping and validation (it can also generate a validator in Java).

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

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

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

This ASN.1 compiler turns ASN.1 specifications into C code. The asn1c is shipped together with conformant BER/DER/XER/PER codecs. The X.509, GSM TAP3, MEGACO, RRC and LDAP encoding and decoding examples are part of the source code distribution. NOTE: THE asn1c PROJECT HAS LARGELY MOVED TO GITHUB: http://github.com/vlm/asn1c

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.

A C and C++ Library + a compiler to create Adobe Flash SWF movies up to version 9 (v1.8.1). Supports nearly all the tags, includes an ActionScript compiler. Detailed docs and other tools: convert fonts to Flash, decompile Flash, jpg2swf. LASTEST IS 1.8.4

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.

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]

This sourceforge site for the project is now DEPRECATED and not updated. All current work and new releases are on github: https://github.com/OpenJML/OpenJML. The Java Modeling Language (JML) is a behavioral interface specification language that can be used to specify the behavior of Java modules (as in design by contract -- DBC). It has many tools to do assertion checking, unit testing, etc. The principal current tool of the project is OpenJML -- cf. https://www.openjml.org, with binary downloads from https://github.com/OpenJML/OpenJML/releases/latest

The Introspector enables the programming tools that deal with source code such as the compiler to communicate in a standard and neutral manner reducing the accidental cost of programming. http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/

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]

ULS is a class library for creating lexical analyzer from language specification file. It's provided as C/C++/C# and Java (class) libraries with a few of tools on Linux/Windows platform.
