Generating objects from C code-features of the CORET tool-set

The CORET tool set serves to restructure legacy C code into semantically equivalent C++ code with semantically coherent objects. To obtain semantical coherence, the object structure is derived from a forwardly developed object oriented analysis model. The paper focuses on the code transformation aspects and addresses special problems due to the fact that we had to depart from C as source language of the legacy code. The issues are demonstrated in showing various CORET features in the context of transformations applied to a concise example.
