The SmartPtr Implementation: How to Port C# Code to C++
When porting complex C# codebases to C++, one of the most challenging aspects is replicating .NET's memory management semantics. This article reveals how we solved this problem through an innovative SmartPtr implementation - a hybrid pointer that dynamically switches between weak and strong reference modes at runtime.
Golang vs Python: Which Language Should You Choose?
The choice between Go and Python isn't about which language is "better"—it's about which one fits your specific needs. Both are powerful, widely used, and capable of building complex systems, but they take fundamentally different approaches to programming.
Python is a versatile and widely-used programming language, known for its clear syntax and readability. This makes it an ideal choice for beginners because it's used in everything from web development to data science, opening up many career paths. This article will guide you through fundamental Python concepts with simple, easy-to-understand code examples.
Rust vs C++: Performance, Safety, and Use Cases Compared
Choosing a programming language is a crucial decision in software development. Rust and C++ are two powerful languages often compared, especially when performance and low-level control are needed. While both offer these capabilities, they differ significantly in memory safety, concurrency, and overall programming experience. This article provides an in-depth comparison of Rust and C++, examining their features, advantages, disadvantages, and ideal use cases to help developers choose wisely.
Migrating from C# to Java involves more than just translating syntax—it requires adapting libraries, frameworks, and language-specific paradigms. Tangible Software Solutions’ C# to Java converter aims to streamline this process by automating much of the conversion work. But how effective is it in real-world scenarios? In this article, we’ll evaluate the tool’s capabilities, discuss its strengths and limitations, and compare it to alternative solutions. We’ll also provide code samples to illustrate its performance.
When developing a code translator from C# to Java, there are no issues with deleting unused objects: Java provides a garbage collection mechanism that is sufficiently similar to the one in C#, and the translated code using classes simply compiles and works. C++ is a different story. Clearly, mapping references to raw pointers will not yield the desired results, as such translated code will not delete anything. Meanwhile, C# developers, accustomed to working in a GC environment, will continue writing code that creates many temporary objects.
Memory Management Models: How to Port C# Code to C++
Our framework, CodePorting.Translator Cs2Cpp, enables the release of libraries developed for the .NET platform in C++. In this article, we will discuss how we managed to reconcile the memory models of these two languages and ensure the correct operation of the translated code in an unmanaged environment.
Wrapping .NET for Python: How CodePorting's Cs2Python Brings Aspose Libraries to Python Developers
CodePorting.Wrapper Cs2Python is a tool that enables wrapping ready-made .NET projects written in C# into modules compatible with Python. This simplifies the use of existing .NET projects in Python without the need to rewrite them from scratch or translate their source code. Using this tool saves developers time and effort, ensuring high performance of the product in Python. In this article, we will look at the five most popular .NET projects wrapped for use in Python using the CodePorting.Wrapper Cs2Python tool.
We are pleased to announce the addition of a new tool on CodePorting.AI - the Code Explainer. This AI-powered application is designed to help developers by analyzing source code and providing detailed explanations. By reducing the time needed to read and understand large sections of code, the Code Explainer enhances essential developer skills and improves overall performance.
The Code Explainer supports a wide range of programming languages, making it a versatile tool for developers working with different technologies. One of its standout features is the ability to customize explanations. Users can adjust the verbosity of the explanations to one of three levels, choose the language of explanation, and even provide inline instructions within comments to tailor the explanations to their needs.
In addition to handling well-formatted code, the Code Explainer can also interpret unformatted source code snippets and complex syntax expressions. It is capable of making educated guesses about the meaning of partially invalid or incomplete code, ensuring that developers can get useful insights even from imperfect codebases. The explanations are presented in a clear and convenient format, making it easy for developers to understand and apply the information.
We invite you to explore the new Code Explainer tool and see how it can benefit your development process. For more information and to try out the Code Explainer, visit CodePorting.AI.
Cs2Python Reaches Milestone: 25 Products Successfully Wrapped from C# to Python
We are excited to share that our tool, CodePorting.Wrapper Cs2Python, has reached a significant milestone. We have successfully wrapped 25 products from C# to Python, enabling seamless integration and use in the Python environment.
Using our wrapper, numerous products developed by Aspose and originally written in C# have been released for Python. Most of these products are APIs designed for working with file formats and documents. Among them are popular products such as Aspose.Words, Aspose.PDF, Aspose.Cells, and others. These products have extensive codebases, often running into millions of lines of C# code. Rewriting such code in Python would be a highly challenging task, requiring significant time and resources. Hence, the company decided to use our tool, Cs2Python, to create a wrapper around the complete C# assemblies, providing a Python API. An important advantage of this approach is maintaining the performance of the original C# libraries in Python.
You can explore these products wrapped using CodePorting.Wrapper Cs2Python in the following collections on PyPi: Aspose.Total and GroupDocs.Total.
If you are a developer of similar commercial C# libraries, we invite you to collaborate with us. Using CodePorting.Wrapper Cs2Python, you can effortlessly release your product for Python without rewriting your codebase, ensuring that your C# releases also cater to Python users. This collaboration can significantly reduce the time and effort required to bring your products to the Python community, expanding your reach and impact.
