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.
