Are there any programs for converting code from some popular scripting language in C ++ . Converters that add dependencies to the code are not interested. It will be enough for me if the converter can convert only a part of the original language.

An example of what I want to get:

a = [1, 3, 2] a.sort() print(a)

vvv

 #include <algorithm> #include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main() { vector<int> a = {1, 3, 2}; sort(a.begin(), a.end()); for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) { cout << a[i] << " "; } }

Where can be useful:

  1. Sometimes you need to write a small script for which speed is critical. The existence of such a converter will save time.
  2. In a scripting language, it may be easier to write an algorithm, and it will most likely be clearer. Such a converter is useful not to write the same code several times.

Please correct the question so that it describes the specific problem with sufficient detail to determine the appropriate answer. Do not ask a few questions at once. See “How to ask a good question?” For clarification. If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

  • @avp C ++ code is useful for easy integration with an existing project. If there is a need for even more performance, I think it will be easier to change the already generated code in C ++. - pank

  • @pank: Cython and C ++ support, example . Naively written Python can be faster naively written C ++, an example . There are many tools that take a certain subset of Python and declare some kind of optimization (eg, theano, numexpr). Pypy translate.py can RPython (a subset of Python) to transform, for example - jfs

Found transpilers in C ++ :

  1. Typescript to C: ts2c
  2. Wikipedia article with a list of several transpilers .
  • I found the translator in C ++ (from the link to the wiki) only with python - avp
  • @avp if the translator in C is adequate, then it can be considered as a translator in C ++, there are many of them, but there are few of the scripting languages. - pank
