During the last month several people have asked for a Modula-2 -> C translator, a few such programs have been mentioned, well, here is an other one: mtc. Mtc is stable and has successfully translated more than 100,000 lines of non-trivial Modula-2 code to C. The produced C code runs without problems on several target platforms. The C versions of the programs are in general a little bit smaller and a little bit faster than the original versions. BTW, mtc runs 3 times faster than the Modula-2 compiler of SUN. MTC(1) GMD-Forschungsstelle-Karlsruhe MTC(1) NAME mtc - Modula-2 to C translator DESCRIPTION Mtc translates Modula-2 programs in readable and therefore maintainable K&R C code without major restrictions (even nested procedures and modules). The translator is largely gen- erated using the GMD compiler construction toolbox. It con- tains semantic analysis as far as needed for the task. Semantic analysis is rather complete and comprises scope handling, name analysis, and type determination. Context conditions are not checked, as it is assumed that only correct programs are processed. Mtc translates Modula-2 as defined in "N. Wirth: Programming in Modula-2, Third Corrected Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1985". RESTRICTIONS Coroutines are not implemented yet. Comments are lost. IMPLEMENTATION-LANGUAGES Modula-2 or C TARGET-PLATFORMS SUN 3 oder SUN 4 / SunOS DEC Station / ULTRIX VAX / ULTRIX oder BSD UNIX 4.2 PCS Cadmus / MUNIX others DISTRIBUTION Medium: DC 300 A data cartridge or TK 50 in tar format source program in Modula-2 as well as in C binary executable for SUN 3 CONTACT J.

Hi Josef JG> During the last month several people have asked for a Modula-2 -> C JG> translator, a few such programs have been mentioned, well, here is an JG> other one: mtc. I would be more interested in a C to modula-2 translator. Do you have such a creature, too? And while we're at it, how about a TurboPascal to modula-2 translator. Anyone?

Logitech supplies a TurboPascal to Modula 2 translator. I am not sure if it comes with the compiler or as an extra. David Jones, Selkirk College, Castlegar, B.C. djgjones@selkirk.bc.ca
