Java program for emulating the memory management of a C program and corresponding method

A method for converting a C computer program written in the C programming language into a Java computer program written in the Java programming language Java,

• wherein the C program comprises:
• instructions for allocating a memory area, instructions for defining at least one data structure,
• instructions for defining at least one pointer to the allocated memory area in accordance with the at least one data structure;
• and
• wherein the method comprises:
• providing a Java byte array in a memory of a computer system for emulating the allocated memory area of the C program;
• providing at least one Java object, different from the Java byte array, for emulating the at least one data structure of the C program;
• wherein the at least one Java object uses, in connection with at least one processor, at least one Java ByteBuffer object for emulating the at least one pointer of the C program;
• and uses bit operations to access the Java byte array in accordance with the at least one Java object.

A computer system, including at least one processor and a memory, the computer system being configured to use the at least one process and memory in order to cause a Java computer program written in the Java programming language to emulate the memory management of a C computer program written in the C programming language,

• wherein the C program comprises:
• instructions for allocating a memory area, instructions for defining at least one data structure,
• instructions for defining at least one pointer to the allocated memory area in accordance with the at least one data structure;
• and
• wherein the Java program comprises instructions to:
• provide a Java byte array to emulate the allocated memory area of the C program;
• provide at least one Java object, different from the Java byte array, to emulate the at least one data structure of the C program;
• wherein the at least one Java object uses at least one Java ByteBuffer object for emulating the at least one pointer of the C program;
• and uses bit operations to access the Java byte array in accordance with the at least one Java object.
