Sometimes porting tools, no matter how good, are not enough,
either because the problem requires special solutions, or because you
do not have enough suitable resources available in house to handle a
port. In such cases, MicroAPL's highly skilled consultants can help -
as they have helped some of the world's largest software companies.
MicroAPL Ltd has extensive experience of porting software of all
types to new architectures, and can provide consultancy
services either on a turnkey basis, or in collaboration with your own
staff. Examples of the kinds of problem which we are expert in
solving are:
- Porting assembler code to new environments
- Cleaning up the C code produced automatically by Relogix and making any necessary modifications to overcome any portability issues (such as byte-ordering differences between the source and target architectures)
- Adapting C or Pascal code to fit in with the new runtime
architecture found on RISC systems, such as the EABI standard for
embedded PowerPC software
- Re-coding applications which generate object code dynamically
- Re-targetting compiler back-ends to generate object code for
different processors
- Improving the performance of code which has been re-compiled
for a RISC architecture, but which may have been written in a way
which performs poorly on newer systems
- Advising on mixed-mode ports where software is partly native
and partly emulated
- Developing special tools to help with specific porting
problems
