I have been using fweb (a version of cweb which can handle C, fortran
and ratfor and is being updated to handle C++ and fortran '90) very
effectively to maintain self-documented code for a collaborative effort
on the supercomputer here, and would love to get it up and running on my
ST. I can get both fweave and ftangle through Bammi's port of the gnu C
compiler, but fweave crashes mysteriously (due to faulty memory/stack
handling?) and ftangle works but crashes after completing its task, I
think due to something incompatible in the functions associated with
time. The program compiles straightforwardly with gcc on a sun, or
a vaxstation or decstation running Ultrix.
Would someone be interested in looking into the problem? I don't know
much about gcc and haven't had much time to get very far yet. It
shouldn't be difficult for someone who is substantially more familiar
gnu C than I am.
By the way, to what extent is gdb working for the ST? I can get it
going without problem with a liitle program like "Hello World", even
with source debugging, although I haven't checked it extensively. It
crashes hopelessly with fweave.
Anyone who is interested, please email me. Or any knowledge of bugs or
incompatibilities in the ST gnu port/libraries with standard Unix stuff
would be appreciated.
