Compiling C++ programs to Java bytecode

It is very desirable to run programs on a variety of platforms. The only programs today that can run on different platforms are those written in Java. Although methods have been developed to allow cross-language applications, these applications are still mostly be hardware and/or operating system platform dependent. In this paper, we describe a platform-neutral compiler for a C++ like language that generates Java bytecode to run on any platform where a Java runtime is available.
