Preface
-------
JCGO (pronounced as "j-c-go") is a software application which translates
(converts) programs written in Java into platform-independent C code,
which could, further, be compiled (by third-party tools) into
highly-optimized native code for the target platform and deployed.
JCGO application is a powerful solution that enables your desktop,
server-side and embedded/mobile/wireless Java applications to take full
advantage of the underlying hardware. In addition, JCGO effectively
protects your intellectual property by making your programs when
compiled to native code as hard to reverse engineer as if they were
written in C/C++.
JCGO consists of the following parts: the translator executables (one
for every supported development platform), the JCGO-specific part
of the Java runtime environment, the JCGO-specific part of a C runtime
environment, the precompiled libraries part, the supplementary and
JCGO-specific auxiliary tools, miscellaneous and sample source files,
and the accompanying documentation.

Introduction
------------
Thank you for downloading JCGO application - the tool for creation
of conventional native code applications using the Java programming
language. JCGO takes Java source files as input and translates them
into a set of files in the platform-independent C programming language,
which is further compiled to a binary executable for your target
platform by a standard ANSI C/C++ compiler.
JCGO translator uses some optimization algorithms that allow, together
with optimizations performed by a C compiler, the resulting executable
code to reach better performance if compared with the traditional Java
implementations (based on the Just-In-Time technology).
The produced executable does not contain nor require a Java Virtual
Machine to execute, so its resource requirements are smaller than that
required by a typical Java VM. This also simplifies the process
of deployment and distribution of an application. In addition, the
produced native code is highly resistant to reverse engineering and
tampering.
JCGO at a glance
----------------
Producing a native executable file for your Java application is done
in three steps with the JCGO application: generation of C code
files from Java source files, compiling these C code files into one or
more machine-dependent object files, and linking them all together with
C library into a binary executable file.
The JCGO translator (which is, in other words, a "retargetable"
optimizing Java-source-to-C static whole-program compiler) transforms
the Java source files of your application, the source files of all Java
libraries used by your application, the source files of the standard
class library (the Java Runtime Environment) and a number of the
JCGO-specific Java files together (constituting the "translation set"
of Java files) at once into a set of files with optimized (but
human-readable) platform-independent ISO/ANSI C code. This
transformation is performed on the developer's system, which may differ
from the target system of your application. If you need to pack any
resource files (only the standard Java property file) into your
application then you should convert these resource files into the
corresponding Java source files (a special stand-alone utility
is supplied within the JCGO application to automate this
conversion) beforehand and pass them too as an input to the JCGO
translator.
To create a native executable file for your application (processed with
the JCGO translator) you need a standard ISO/ANSI C compiler and linker
for the target platform (the target hardware and operating system).
Since JCGO generates platform-independent C code and uses only a small
cross-platform (portable) set of the standard C library functions,
there is a large number of platforms supported - based on different CPU
architectures (e.g., x86, amd64, ppc, ppc64, ia64, sparc, alpha, mips,
i8086, arm, sh, xscale, etc.) and running different Operating Systems
(e.g., Windows, FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X (Darwin), Solaris SunOS,
OS/2, pure DOS, BeOS, PocketPC/WinMobile/WinCE, or even without OS,
etc.).
By using the desired C compiler toolkit, you compile the generated
C code files (all at once as a single compilation unit or each file
separately) for your Java application together with the JCGO-specific
C part of Java runtime. A lot of C macros are provided to customize the
compilation process and the resulting executable. Besides, a typical
C compiler offers a good set of options to control code optimization
and debugging support features.
The linkage step for your application is done by the desired C compiler
toolkit in the same way as for a normal C program except that
a precompiled Garbage Collector library (either static or dynamic)
is linked with it too.
Java compliance and unsupported features
----------------------------------------
JCGO is compliant with the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) v1.4
platform. JCGO uses GNU Classpath v0.93 core class library.
JCGO does not support Java exception stack tracing. JCGO does not
support the features introduced in the 3rd version of the Java Language
Specification and J2SE v1.5 platform.
JCGO optimization techniques
----------------------------
JCGO translator itself performs at least the following local and global
optimizations:
- unused class, methods and fields elimination;
- marking suitable methods for inlining;
- turning virtual calls into direct ones;
- turning all interface method calls into either virtual or direct
ones;
- fields, local variables and parameters reordering;
- runtime checks for null pointer, array index, cast type elimination;
- on-the-stack object allocation;
- performing class initialization at program start-up;
- removing unused class meta-information for "Reflection" API;
- packing characters of Latin-1 strings into byte arrays;
- putting static arrays into program image data sections;
- putting strings, classes and immutable arrays into program image
read-only section.
The further optimizations of the code are done by the C compiler you
use.
JCGO advantages and drawbacks
-----------------------------
JCGO employs the concept of the Ahead-of-Time (static) compilation
on the developer's system which gives at least the following advantages
over the traditional Java VM runtime interpretation and Just-in-Time
(JIT) compilation to the compiled programs:
- faster execution and smaller memory footprint (no code
interpretation, no unused class meta-information, large set of local
and global optimization, runtime checks elimination, code and read-only
data sharing across multiple running program instances);
- shorter start-up time (no class load, no class verification, no JIT,
functions and static data reordering for faster executable on-demand
loading);
- more performance tuning flexibility (you may choose less program size
or more speed, more robustness or more speed);
- native and easier program deployment (a single native executable,
no stand-alone Java VM Runtime Environment needed, has own name in the
process list, applicability of native code packers, code protectors and
custom installer creators);
- better resistance to code decompilation and reverse engineering (the
compiled program is as hard to decompile as for a conventional C/C++
program).
These advantages identify, in fact, the goals that may be achieved
by applying the JCGO to your application.
The drawbacks of JCGO in respect to the Ahead-of-Time compilation are:
- not cross-platform (native executable is created only for the target
system specified at compilation time);
- no runtime-specific optimizations and profiling (all optimizations
are done at the developer's host and for the specified CPU model only);
- no support for dynamic applications (all the classes comprising the
application must be passed to JCGO and compiled to native code at the
developer's host, all functions and fields accessed through the Java
"Reflection" API should be generally identified).
JCGO translates Java source files instead of binary Java class files
of your application - this gives the following advantages:
- some more optimizations are possible;
- the produced C code is more human-readable;
- no need to have a "javac" tool and to manually compile Java source
files to Java class binary files.
The drawback of this approach is:
- full sources of the application and the used libraries are needed
(you have to decompile Java class binary files if the required Java
source files are missing and, of course, if this is legal by the
applicable license).
JCGO translates the sources of an application all at once and a
C compiler processes the generated C files all at once. The advantages
of "all-at-once" translation and compilation are:
- more global optimizations are possible;
- only needed part of the Java VM runtime is compiled;
- unused classes, methods, fields are all eliminated;
- more methods are possible to inline.
The drawbacks of the "all-at-once" approach are:
- everything should be re-translated to C and recompiled if any Java
source is changed;
- code duplication in every application executable file is present (for
the Java runtime code and used libraries);
- the JCGO translator and a C compiler use a lot of system resources
(CPU and RAM) to do the work.
JCGO translates your Java application to a native executable in 3 steps
(to C code first, then to object file, and then to executable file).
The "through C" conversion model gives you the following advantages
over the direct Java-to-executable conversion model:
- much more portability (JCGO has a wide range of the supported target
systems);
- allows you to treat Java application as a normal C one (this means
that you have much more control over optimization and code tuning, you
have ability to look through, verify, adopt the code in C, have ability
to use verified and time-proven C/C++ compilers, and you have the
possibility to debug and profile your application with the standard
C tools);
- gives you flexibility in linking an application with the Garbage
Collector and other third-party libraries (both static and dynamic
methods of linking are supported).
The drawbacks of the "through C" approach are:
- you need a C compiler for the target system to succeed;
- the used C compiler (and/or linker) may contain bugs;
- it is harder for you to compile an application (you should known the
C programming language and have skills in C compilation and linking,
you have to manually invoke the C compiler).
Note, however, that while JCGO produces human-readable C code, this
code does not contain comments and is not maintainable (i.e., you
cannot really use JCGO for your project to migrate from Java to C).
Note also, as an advantage, that JCGO contains and uses only free open
sources (except when an AWT GUI application is translated - Sun J2SE
v1.4.2 community sources could be used in this case).
Scope of possible applicability
-------------------------------
JCGO is targeted mainly for the following user categories:
- application software developers (to get higher performance, smaller
memory footprint and smaller start-up time for an application,
to protect the code as an intellectual property, to allow
an application to execute on platforms without the Java VM support,
to simplify deployment, distribution and installation of an
application, to apply time-proven and well-known C/C++ compilation and
debugging tools to a Java application);
- hardware device developers (to migrate from C device code to Java,
to write new device code in Java with nearly the same performance
efficiency as in C, to use Java for 8- and 16-bit CPUs with ROM-able
code and small amount of RAM, to reuse existing Java code for small
device programming);
- software porting men (to execute existing applications on platforms
without a Java VM support);
- software advanced users (to get higher performance for frequently
used applications, to run an application in the 64-bit mode).
Development system requirements
-------------------------------
At present the JCGO translator itself is built to be executed on any
"x86" platform running GNU/Linux or Windows operating system.
The minimal hardware requirements for the JCGO translator are:
- Intel Pentium III 500 MHz CPU (or equivalent);
- 1024 MiB RAM;
- 200 MiB free disk space.
The amount of available real RAM space is critical - you should have
at least 200 KiB per every class included in the "translation set"
in average, otherwise the performance of the JCGO translator
significantly degrades.
Operating System requirement for the JCGO translator is (one of):
- Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher (to run "jcgo.exe" on Win32);
- GNU/Linux OS based on Kernel 2.6 or higher (to run Linux version
of "jcgo");
- Sun JRE 1.4 or higher (to run "jcgo.jar" as an alternative to Windows
and Linux native binary versions of the JCGO translator).
Other development platforms and operating systems could be supported
in the future. Note also, that the target platform
of a translated application does not depend of the development platform
used to run the JCGO translator.
Note about running "jcgo.jar": translation of a big application
requires a big stack, so please pass "-Xss" option to JVM with
a reasonable value.
Required knowledge and skills
-----------------------------
To use the JCGO translator successfully you should generally
be familiar with the C programming language and have adequate skills
in the compilation area with the C compiler you choose to use for the
target platform.
It is also supposed that you know the name of the class with the entry
point of the application you translate, the names of all the classes
accessed dynamically from the application, the fully-qualified names
of all the methods and fields accessed from the application through the
Java "Reflection" API.
Downloading prerequisites
-------------------------
To start using the JCGO application you need to download the JCGO
distributive files and install it successfully.
The following files constitutes "the JCGO distributive files":
- jcgo-src-1_XX.tar.bz2 (the source files used by JCGO and by a
C compiler);
- jcgo-lib-1_XX.tar.gz (the auto-generated Java files used by JCGO,
precompiled libraries and auxiliary executables for the supported
platforms, as well as the JCGO translator executable for a Java VM);
- jcgo-bin-win32-x86.zip (the JCGO translator executable for Windows
development host, optional file);
- jcgo-bin-1_XX-linux-x86.tar.gz (the JCGO translator executable for
Linux/x86 development host, optional file);
- classpath-0.93.tar.gz (the GNU Classpath - Essential Libraries for
Java).
Note: version 0.93 of the GNU Classpath is the only supported version -
its later versions are incompatible with JCGO currently.
In addition, in case you need a custom-specific Garbage Collector (GC)
library (e.g., for a specific target platform) which is not among the
precompiled libraries, then its sources should be downloaded too and,
then, compiled manually as required. At present, only two GC libraries
are supported:
- Boehm-Demers-Weiser Conservative GC (BDWGC, BoehmGC) version 7.2 or
later (with built-in or external libatomic_ops library);
- TinyGC (Tiny Garbage Collector) - a binary-compatible small
alternative to Boehm GC (normally, should be used only for targets
where Boehm GC is not supported or is unappropriated).
To manually compile the desired GC library, please download
gc-7.2.tar.gz (or newer) for Boehm GC, or tinygc-2_5.tar.bz2 (or newer)
for TinyGC.
The exact links to the distributive files (and their exact names for
the current JCGO version) are provided at the JCGO official web home
page.
To compile an SWT GUI application, you will need the corresponding
(i.e., for the required target platform) SWT library sources (of version
3.5 or newer - please refer to reflgen/swt.dat for the exact information
of the supported versions).
To compile an application which uses Sun Javax Comm API, you will need
either RXTX library sources (version 2.2) or the original Sun Java
Communications API library sources.
To compile an application that accesses OS API via JNA, you will need
JNA (Java Native Access) library sources (version 3.2.7).
Note also, that you need some more distributive files to translate
an AWT GUI application (e.g., with Sun Win32/X11 AWT back-ends) or an
AWT/SWT application which uses Java Sound API, or an SQL application
that uses Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge:
- jcgo-sunawt-lib-1_XX.tar.gz (the JCGO-SUNAWT auto-generated Java
files used by the JCGO translator and precompiled import libraries);
- jcgo-sunawt-linux-x86-1_00.tar.gz (JCGO-SUNAWT runtime binary
re-distributive pack for GNU Linux/x86 targets);
- jcgo-sunawt-solaris-x86-1_00.tar.gz (JCGO-SUNAWT runtime binary
re-distributive pack for Solaris SunOS/x86 targets);
- jcgo-sunawt-win32-x86-1_00.7z (JCGO-SUNAWT runtime binary
re-distributive pack for Windows/x86 targets);
- j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip (Sun J2SDK v1.4.2 SCSL sources);
- src.zip from the Sun J2SE v1.4.2_19 SDK (Sun Java core API class
sources).
JCGO also supports SQLite database connectivity via SqliteJDBC library.
Entirely for the purpose of the distributive files unpacking, you need
some tar+gz/bz2 unpacker tool (e.g., tar and ungzip/bzip2 for Unix-like
OS, or "7-Zip" for Windows).
Installation procedure
----------------------
Before installing the current version of the JCGO, please completely
remove the previous one installation (if you have any).
Then, please extract the JCGO distributive files (using an unpacker
tool of your choice) into the "JCGO home" (base) installation folder
preserving the directory structure. The recommended name for the JCGO
home is "C:\JCGO" on Windows ("/usr/share/JCGO" on Unix-like system),
but you are free to use any other folder (directory) for it.
For AWT GUI applications translation, as a special exception (for the
above unpacking rule), j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip should be unpacked
to the newly-created "contrib/j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl" folder (of the "JCGO"
installation folder) and src.zip from the Sun J2SE v1.4.2_19 SDK - to
"contrib/j2sdk1.4.2_19/src", respectively.
Note: at the end of the installation process it is better to protect
the entire JCGO installation folder and all its contents from
an accidental modification (never add, delete, or modify files within
the JCGO application - if you need to use a modified version of
a source file then copy it to your project first), so please set
"read-only" access to the entire JCGO installation folder and its
subfolders (if this protection mechanism is supported by the File
System).
JCGO home folder contents

After you complete the JCGO installation process, the JCGO home folder
contents are as follows:
- "auxbin" - the JCGO auxiliary tools ("GenRefl", "JPropJav" and
"TraceJni" utilities);

integrating the Sun J2SE v1.4.2 AWT/JSound/SQL front-ends.
JCGO translator command-line arguments
--------------------------------------
The JCGO translator itself ("jcgo") is a command-line tool. It accepts
the following arguments:
- optional "verbose mode" switch (-v);
- optional output existing folder name switch (-d <directory>) for the
generated ".c" and ".h" files to put in (otherwise, "jcgo_Out" folder
in the current folder is created and used);
- the full name of the class with "main(String[])" method of the
application to translate;
- source paths list specifier switch (-sourcepath <pathlist> or -src
<pathlist> for short) for the translator to get Java source files from
(notes: the order of paths is important; it is possible to use "$~"
as a path prefix meaning the JCGO home (installation) folder; the
current folder is always implicitly added to the end of the specified
list; it is also possible to use "conditional" paths, in the form
of <path>/$%<packageOrClass>, meaning that the specified source path
should be used only to search for the designated class or classes
within the designated package);
- optional additional full class names (for the classes used
dynamically via "Class.forName()" calls or through the Java
"Reflection" API, including Proxy classes);
- optional command (-r<flags> <packageOrClass>) to force particular
members reflection for a given class or for all classes (of the
"translation set") inside a given package (flags specifier:
[p|[[p]c][g|[p]m][[p]f]], where flag symbol 'c' means reflect all
constructors (if with 'p' prefix then only public entities),
'g' - reflect all declared public non-static getter and setter methods,
['p']'m' - reflect all declared [public] methods, ['p']'f' - reflect
all declared [public] fields, single 'p' flag is equivalent to "pcpmpf"
specifier, and the flags omission has the same meaning as "cmf" one);
- optional "response" file (@<filename>) for user convenience
containing optional additional full class names (one per line),
optional source paths list specifier switches ("$~" prefix could
be used here too), and optional "-r" commands.
Translating first sample application
------------------------------------
The sample conversion of "Hello world" application on Windows and
Unix-like development hosts (for the same targets) is provided bellow.
It is assumed that the JCGO software is installed into its recommended
folder. It is also assumed that "C:\MyProject" ("/home/user/MyProject"
on Unix) folder exists, in which the resulting "hello.exe" ("hello"
on Unix) native executable file would be put.
For Windows development host and target ("MinGW" C/C++ compiler is used
here):
cd C:\MyJcgoProjects
mkdir .\Hello
C:\JCGO\jcgo -d .\Hello -sourcepath $~\examples\simple Hello @$~\stdpaths.in
gcc -IC:\JCGO\include -IC:\JCGO\include\boehmgc -IC:\JCGO\native
-DJCGO_FFDATA -o hello .\Hello\Main.c C:\JCGO\libs\x86\mingw\libgc.a
For Linux (on x86) development host and target:
cd /home/user/MyJcgoProjects
mkdir ./Hello
/usr/share/JCGO/jcgo -d ./Hello -sourcepath $~/examples/simple Hello \
@$~/stdpaths.in
gcc -I /usr/share/JCGO/include -I /usr/share/JCGO/include/boehmgc \
-I /usr/share/JCGO/native -fwrapv -DJCGO_UNIX -D_IEEEFP_H \
