Hello:
We are investigating to port about 400.000 lines of DEC Vax Pascal (started as VMS application later ported to OSF1 UNIX).
One of our concerns is the maturity of the GPC environment. During our initial tests we encountered some compiler problems (segfault, internal error).
An obvious question is did someone else try this before. ( DEC Pascal has funny extentions)
Regards, Rob Koopman

I haven't any experience with DEC Pascal but we have been using GPC for about 3 years. I have seen the stability improve dramatically over that period mainly due to the diligent efforts of Frank Heckenbach. We ported an application with a similar number of lines to yours from Extended Pascal and it now runs very well. What operating system and hardware are you moving the application to?

With similar compiler problems (on OS X), Frank (Heckenbach) suggested to increase the stacksize limit, which did the job.
