Abstract: A system that translates source code of a compiled high level language into bytecode. Compiled languages are so named because their implementations are typically compilers that generate machine code. The described system takes source code of the compiled high level language and translates it into bytecode. The bytecode can be optimized with control flow analysis and method splitting.

Abstract: One or more regions of COBOL source code having an entry point are identified. A PERFORM instruction associated with the entry point to analyze is selected. A PERFORM range for the selected PERFORM instruction is determined. An instruction that changes control flow in execution of the COBOL source code subsequent to the selected PERFORM instruction is identified. Flow-affected code resulting from the instruction is determined. An adjusted PERFORM range for the selected PERFORM instruction is formed.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the invention relate generally to computer software, computer program architecture, software development, and computer programming languages, and more specifically, to techniques for analyzing control flow in COBOL-sourced programs to facilitate optimized conversions to object-oriented program structures. For example, a compiler can include a global optimizer configured to analyze execution flow for a range of blocks of source code in the memory to determine flow-affected code. Also, the compiler can include a native code generator configured to generate native code based on representations of the native code as functions of the source code. The native code is configured to execute on a virtual machine.
