Class JavaToC

java.lang.Object
  ptolemy.copernicus.c.JavaToC

public class JavaToC
extends java.lang.Object

An application that converts a Java class (from a class file) into C source files (a .h file and a .c file) that implement the class. The C conversion capability is highly experimental and rudimentary at this point, with only a limited set of Java language features supported. We are actively extending the set of supported features.
