Hi,
I'm currently evaluating gpc as a replacement for a commercial (and no longer supported) Pascal compiler on IBM RS/6000 systems running AIX Unix 4.2.1. The project we're intending to use it on contains nearly 250,000 lines of Pascal code, and needs to interface to libraries written in C.
To help with my evaluation, I'd be grateful if anyone else on the list who has used gpc with a major project could let me know if it was successful, and also what, if any, problems were experienced. I'm also seeking general opinions on whether, given the current alpha status of gpc, it's stable enough to be used on such a large project?
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.
Regards,
Robin Thompson
P.S. I've successfully compiled and installed gpc 19991030 under gcc 2.95.2 on AIX 4.2.1 and 4.3, so please feel free to add these to platforms supported in the FAQ.
