Translating computer code using augmented program analysis

A system, comprising:

• a memory device;
• one or more processor devices operatively coupled with the memory device to:
• construct augmented program metadata from an original code by generating target class structure and target method prototype;
• filter extraneous code from the original code based on determined code compatibility to obtain filtered source code;
• generate a prompt using pairs of the augmented program metadata and the filtered source code that are fed to a trained large language model to obtain generated translated code;
• optimize the generated translated code to ensure code compilability, avoid redundancies, and enhance memory handling;
• and
• translate a computer software application by compiling the generated translated code.

A computer program product for translating computer code using augmented program analysis, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor device to cause the processor device to:

• construct augmented program metadata from an original code by generating target class structure and target method prototype;
• filter extraneous code from the original code based on determined code compatibility to obtain filtered source code;
• generate a prompt using pairs of the augmented program metadata and the filtered source code that are fed to a trained large language model to obtain generated translated code;
• optimize the generated translated code to ensure code compilability, avoid redundancies, and enhance memory handling;
• and
• translating a computer software application by compiling the generated translated code.
