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 dialectindependent, 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. - |
