Code porting means to port computer program written in one programming language to another language. For example, if an original program is written in Visual C under Windows,and if it needs to run in another operating system such as Linux, a code port from Visual C to other languages that support target platform, such as ANSI C or Java, will be necessary.

Code porting can also happen when you need to transfer some computer programs in PC environment into embedded systems.
