Have you looked at the Soot project? It's very close to this: http://sable.github.io/soot/
It provides a few intermediate languages such as Jimple and BAF. The original version of gcc-bridge used Soot as a backend, but the API is a bit cumbersome to work with so in the most recent reworking we use ASM to generate code directly from Gimple, which is GCC's Intermediate Representation and our input language. -Alex On Monday, February 1, 2016 at 1:56:44 PM UTC+1, blackdrag wrote: > > Hi, > > I was wondering if anyone knows of an effort to create a compiler for > the java world, that can understand multiple programming languages.
