The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada, as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...).

LLVM is a robust system, particularly well suited for developing new mid-level language-independent analyses and optimizations of all sorts, including those that require extensive interprocedural analysis. LLVM is also a great target for front-end ... [More] development for conventional or research programming languages, including those which require compile-time, link-time, or run-time optimization for effective implementation, proper tail calls or garbage collection. We have an incomplete list of projects which have used LLVM for various purposes, showing that you can get up-and-running quickly with LLVM, giving time to do interesting things, even if you only have a semester in a University course. We also have a list of ideas for projects in LLVM. [Less]

Cibyl is a programming environment and binary translator that allows compiled C programs to execute on J2ME-capable phones. Cibyl uses GCC to compile the C programs to MIPS binaries, and these are then recompiled into Java bytecode. Cibyl programs ... [More] are regular compiled Java programs, and Cibyl therefore performs relatively well. With Cibyl, C programs can be ported to J2ME without switching language. It also allows C and Java code to be integrated in an easy and efficient way. The environment uses the GNU toolchain (GCC and binutils) and should work in all environments which provide them. Full-scale C applications, such as the Sarien AGI interpreter shown below has been ported to J2ME devices using Cibyl. [Less]
