We are also looking for an automatic Pascal-to-C source-code converter. There are rumors of one being available at U.C. Berkeley. If accurate, would someone please be a little more specific ? A posting a few months ago made a reference to one on "the UUCP tape", but that is apparently not a universally recognized designation for that tape (communications is not my subfield), if it exists at all.

I don't recall seeing anything about it in this news-group in the year or so that I've been back on the net (after an absence of 3 years). Rather than replying privately to Meyer at Xerox, I encourage those with answers to please go ahead and post the information.

Though I have never extensively used it. If there is sufficient interest I can mail a copy on the net or mail it individually.

You can get the source to a Pascal-to-C converter at csvax.caltech.edu that is called p2c. It handles a variety of pascals and modula-2 as well.

You will find a fairly good translator on SIMTEL20 archives under MSDOS.C directory which was put out by Microsoft a couple of years ago. T2C.ARC 152K bytes Its specially configured to translate TurboPascal to MSC, natch. Although any of the these Pascal-C translators can handle most of the job, none of them can unravel Pascal's nested functions. The translators leave that task to humans.

The translators leave that task to humans. This is not true. Here at Caltech, Dave Gillespie has written a truly wonderful Pascal to C translator. It is called p2c, and is available via anonymous ftp from csvax.caltech.edu. It is also in the queue to be posted to comp.sources.unix. It translates the following Pascal dialects: o HP Pascal o Turbo/UCSD Pascal o VAX Pascal o Oregon Software Pascal/2 o Macintosh Programmer's Workshop Pascal It also supports Modula-2 syntax. Output C code can be machine-independent, or can be targeted for a specific machine and compiler. It produces well- formatted (you can configure it for your own indentation style) human readable and maintainable C, using C idioms when possible. Every program I have translated has required no human intervention at all. It even passes a large part of a Pascal validation test suite. -- Scott Hemphill hemphill@csvax.caltech.edu ...!ames!elroy!cit-vax!hemphill

It is in Pascal, (there was a C version posted, which was the pascal version run on itself), and produced pretty bizarre looking code compared to what p2c produces, but it did do nested procedures, variant records, pascal I/O, etc.
