Java/C/C++/C#/PHP to Pascal converter?

Question

Does anyone know if there is a Java/C/C++/C#/PHP to Pascal converter?

@Dhaivat yes it is, extremely finicky. I remember converting C++ to Delphi one time and ran into huge problems with my program crashing because `@GetProcAddress` in Delphi isn't the same as `&GetProcAddress` in C++ (C++ takes the address of the function but Delphi takes the address of the _wrapper_ function for the real `GetProcAddress`.) *shiver* — Seth Carnegie, May 14 '11 at 17:44
@Robin maybe, as you cannot really use Pascal except for educational purposes (maybe Delphi makes some sense, but even that's more of a legend to me). — Christian Rau, May 14 '11 at 23:06
I don't think there is anyone who can write c/c++ code but can't write pascal code, but everyone has a right to make daft assumptions. — ThatJoeGuy, May 15 '11 at 01:11

H2Pas is a popular tool to convert C headers to Pascal. I don't know of any to actually convert C code to Pascal code though.

From a quick google search, I see several that may or may not be good:

I am tempted to say you'll have to do a lot of it by hand one way or another.

Yeah, tried c2pas, but might as well write the program in pascal from scratch than use that. It may work for dead simple programs though. – ThatJoeGuy May 15 '11 at 00:38

Tips for conversion from C:

Biggest time saver tip for header conversion from C is to find a VB header and convert it with VB converter mentioned in other answer. This was almost always fully automated and changes I had to make were none or minor!

There was released Android2DelphiImport tool a short time ago. This tool is designed for XE5, and automates the import unit writing by generating a pascal wrapper unit from jar. It is a commercial package.
Here are another two similar tools - Utility to generate Java Android class and jar file interfaces for Delphi XE5 Firemonkey ('JavaToPas' and 'JavaImport For Android').
