P2c is a tool for translating Pascal programs into C. The input consists
|
|
of a set of source files in any of the following Pascal dialects: HP
|
|
Pascal, Turbo/UCSD Pascal, DEC VAX Pascal, Oregon Software Pascal/2,
|
|
Macintosh Programmer's Workshop Pascal, Sun/Berkeley Pascal, Texas
|
|
Instruments Pascal, Apollo Domain Pascal. Modula-2 syntax is also
|
|
supported. Output is a set of .c and .h files that comprise an
|
|
equivalent program in any of several dialects of C. Output code may be
|
|
kept machine- and dialect independent, or it may be targeted to a
|
|
specific machine and compiler. Most reasonable Pascal programs are
|
|
converted into fully functional C which will compile and run with no
|
|
further modifications, although p2c sometimes chooses to generate
|
|
readable code at the expense of absolute generality. P2c endeavors to
|
|
insert notes and warning messages into the output code to point out
|
|
areas which may require human intervention. Output code is arranged to
|
|
be readable and efficient, and to make use of C idioms wherever
|
|
possible. The main goal of the translation is to produce C files which
|
|
are pleasant and "natural" enough to be acceptable as the new source
|
|
files for a program. In a pinch, p2c will also serve as an ad hoc Pascal
|
|
compiler. The p2cc script makes it easy to use p2c as a compiler.
