The Runtime Converter is an automatic tool which converts PHP source code into Java source code. There is a Java runtime library for certain features of the PHP language, as well as the ability to call into the PHP binary itself using JNI for PHP standard library and extension function calls.
In computer programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language [1] or symbolic machine code), [2] [3] [4] often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM or asm, is any low-level programming language with a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions. [5]
Assembly code may be also generated by machine, for example by a compiler targeting a Java virtual machine. Notable Java assemblers include: Jasmin, takes text descriptions for Java classes, written in a simple assembly-like syntax using Java virtual machine instruction set and generates a Java class file [6] Jamaica, a macro assembly language ...
An exception is when a processor is designed to use a particular bytecode directly as its machine code, such as is the case with Java processors. Machine code and assembly code are sometimes called native code when referring to platform-dependent parts of language features or libraries. [16]
The earliest published JIT compiler is generally attributed to work on LISP by John McCarthy in 1960. [4] In his seminal paper Recursive functions of symbolic expressions and their computation by machine, Part I, he mentions functions that are translated during runtime, thereby sparing the need to save the compiler output to punch cards [5] (although this would be more accurately known as a ...
[1] [2] These include translations between high-level and human-readable computer languages such as C++ and Java, intermediate-level languages such as Java bytecode, low-level languages such as the assembly language and machine code, and between similar levels of language on different computing platforms, as well as from any of these to any ...
[2] [3] Low-level memory and hardware details must be manually managed which is often bug-prone. [2] Programs are machine-dependent, so different versions must be written for every target machine architecture. [3] The vast majority of programs are written in a third-generation programming language or a fourth-generation programming language.
The term P-code machine is applied generically to all such machines (such as the Java virtual machine (JVM) and MATLAB pre-compiled code), as well as specific implementations using those machines. One of the most notable uses of P-Code machines is the P-Machine of the Pascal-P system.
