Modernize C Code with Go

Converting C to Go modernizes low-level code with memory safety, garbage collection, and built-in concurrency. Our AI converter translates C structs to Go structs, pointers to Go pointers or slices, and manual memory management to garbage-collected allocation. Perfect for modernizing legacy C systems with Go's safety, porting C libraries to Go's rich standard library, adding concurrency to C applications with goroutines, or eliminating memory leaks and buffer overflows. Go retains C's performance while adding modern features - automatic memory management prevents leaks, slices prevent buffer overflows, and goroutines enable easy parallelism without pthread complexity.

Conversion Features

Memory Safety

Converts C's manual memory management to Go's garbage collection. malloc/free become make/new with automatic cleanup, preventing memory leaks. Bounds checking on slices prevents buffer overflows common in C.

Structs to Go Types

Transforms C structs to Go structs. Fields map directly, functions taking struct pointers become methods with receivers, and typedef patterns convert to type definitions. Go's struct embedding replaces C composition.

Pointers to Slices

Converts C pointer arithmetic to Go slices. Array pointers become slices with bounds checking, pointer arithmetic converts to slice operations, and manual size tracking is eliminated by slice built-in length.

Concurrency Opportunities

Identifies where goroutines could improve C code. Sequential loops that could parallelize become goroutine candidates, thread-based concurrency converts to lightweight goroutines, and mutex patterns map to Go channels.

FAQs

How are C pointers converted to Go?

C pointers convert to Go pointers or slices. Simple pointers become Go pointers (*type), pointer arithmetic converts to slice indexing, malloc/free patterns become make() with garbage collection handling cleanup automatically.

What happens to C manual memory management?

C's malloc/free converts to Go's garbage collected memory. Manual allocation becomes make() or new(), free() calls are removed as Go's GC handles cleanup, and memory leaks become impossible with automatic collection.

Can it add Go concurrency?

The converter maintains C's sequential logic but suggests where goroutines could improve performance. Parallel patterns in C can convert to goroutines with channels, and thread-based concurrency maps to Go's lightweight concurrency model.
