I wanted to pick up the ZC (Sozobon-C compiler) from FredFish 314 on mcrnext.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.73.105), but it's missing. I realize information about missing disks on mcrnext has been posted before. Does anyone on the net have the ff314 release of ZC that I could anon FTP? On a related note: I had done some work with PDC before. I had some success with it, but I remember having problems with "char*"s (I suppose some sort of alignment problem) that I don't think were ever fixed. On the other hand, PDC had #pragma stmts for building in-line interface code for auto-doc'd libraries - I haven't seen this capability advertised for Zc. Does anyone have any experiences comparing the two? -Tom

I'm working with PDC now, with good success. The code it generates is not exactly eficient :-), but it works. I did one try with the older version of Zc, and found it less than K&R compatibile. It's been too long ago, please don't ask me for details.

Dave, is it PDC or ZC ? These are two different beasts. I'll check out your pointer when I'm done with c.s.a. BTW, I was just trying to make PDC start up arp.library by default and stumbled into the fact that there is some (not yet qualified, tomorrow ;-) problem with prototypes (ARP programmers has a prototype file). There is also a problem with #pragma libcall. ARP supplies these as well. The ARP file (for Lattice) uses positive hex numbers for the offset; they have to be negated. PDC does not do this, so your program will provide all sorts of Guru's, depending, what's at that place. But you can't use the #pragma libcall's anyway, 'coz there is another bug: the register specification is not processed correctly. I would know what to do about it, but I don't want to recompile PDC with itself (the original version seems to be compiled with Manx). The code PDC generates is so slow. If there is anybody listening with a Manx compiler and PDC source, or even Lionel Hummel or Paul Petersen or anybody who would maintain PDC, I can provide a first shot at the source code, plus example code to trigger the bugs. | lchristoph@Sun.COM (Internet) | Disclaimer: | | ...!unido!sunmuc!lupe (German EUNet, "bang") | My employer has a | | lupe@sunmuc.UUCP (German EUNet, domain) | non-exclusive license | | ...!suninfo!lchristoph (Sun Germany customers) | to my opinion. |
