Dear readers of the GPC list,
we herewith announce a pre-release of GPC version 1.2, based on GNU C 2.7.2.
This is a beta test release. We ask you to try the new GPC version on as many different platforms as possible, isolate bugs, correct the documentation, etc.. Once we know it is stable enough, we will do the "official" 1.2-2.7.2 release.
New features:
* easier to compile and install, also for cross-compilation
* Texinfo documentation
* More stable (Borland-style) objects
* "String" bug fixed (see the old `PROBLEMS' file)
* Extended Pascal "export foo = all" extension
* PXSC operator fragments (redefineable symbols)
* Precompiled Module/Unit interfaces (needn't #include the interface any longer)
* AutoMake facility (automatically compile Modules/Units which have been changed)
Source and binaries for DJGPP, EMX, Linux, FreeBSD, and IRIX5 are available per anonymous ftp from
agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de
in the directory
gpc-2.7.2
(They also will be available on kampi.hut.fi, soon.)
Have fun,
Jan Jaap J.J.vanderHeijden@student.utwente.nl
