Hi,
I am interested in finding out about Modula-2 compilers for uVaxen
( apart from Powell's), support tools and validation suites.
Firstly some information about what we are doing with Modula-2
here in Trinity College Dublin.
We have ported the VAX/VMS Hamburg Modula-2 compiler to GENIX 4.2(NS32000).
There is both a native version of the compiler and a cross-development
version running under ULTRIX 2.0 on uVaxen. The compiler itself is
written in Modula-2 and is self-compilable.
We are currently writing a code generator for uVaxen. The reason being
is that we cannot modifiy the Powell's compiler as we do not have the
sources. At present simple programs are compiling and running.
Could you, if possible, help us answer the following questions...
1) Are there other Modula-2 compilers for vaxes? Are sources available?
2) Are the sources for Powell compiler available and is any further
development work being done on it?
3) Do you have or do you know where I can find test validation suite?
4) What support tools if any are available for the modula-2 programmer?
Thanks in advance for any help with the above.
Donal
