Earlier this week I made a post about an issue that occurred while I’m converting source code from Delphi to C# using Delphi2C# during my internship.
One user recommended not to use such methods, but to write the code from scratch using the old code as reference point for requirements, input and output from source etc.
For some context, I have no idea how old the Delphi code is, but I have seen comments from as early as 1973. The newest comments are from 2005.
The program is made up out of 50+ files, some with a few hundred lines of codes and some with 50+ thousand lines.
I’m currently writing a paper for my school based on my internship, so I wanted to gather as much of information and experiences about conversion processes in general as a discussion point in the paper.
So please feel free to leave a comment if you’ve ever used a conversion software, what you learned from it, if you even considered using it, if you know any pros/cons, or just your general opinions on the matter.
Thank you!
