- Short: Literate programming discipline for C/C++.
- Type: dev/c
- Files: cweb32p10.lha, cweb32p10.readme
- Uploader: Andreas Scherer
- Authors: Silvio Levy and Donald Knuth
-
- This is the portability implementation of Silvio Levy's and Donald E.
- Knuths's CWEB system, version 3.2 of August 1994, compiled and provided
- with changefiles for ANSI-C, TURBO-C, and SAS/C 6.x and makefiles for
- UNIX-make, TURBO-make and SAS-make by Andreas Scherer. It is based on the
- CWEB 3.1 port by Tomas Willis and the CWEB 2.8 port by Carsten Steger and
- the CWEB-p 3.0 distribution by Hans-Hermann Bode and Klaus Guntermann,
- including all features of the original UNIX implementation like ANSI-C and
- C++ support, full ASCII input capability, and more, plus all enhancements
- made in these AMIGA, MSDOS, and UNIX ports plus some special features like:
-
- - The complete source code is capable of being recompiled with SAS/C for
- AMIGADOS, with GCC and TURBOC for MSDOS, and with CC, C89, and GCC
- for UNIX without the need for further changes.
-
- - The `gcwebmac.tex' macro package activated by setting the `+g' option
- includes support for special characters like German umlauts and some
- frequently used specials according to ISO 8859-1/ECMA-94, IBM PC
- International Codepage 850, Macintosh 8-bit font table and HP Roman 8.
- All captions used by CWEB are translated to German in this macro file.
-
- - There are TeX macro files `ecma94.tex', `hp8.tex', `mac8.tex', and
- `pc850.tex' for support of extended code tables. Also included
- are `ecma94.w', `hp8.w', `mac8.w', and `pc850.w' with appropriate
- transliteration tables.
-
- - Two AREXX scripts for use with the CygnusEd Professional Editor were
- added to this package, one for CTANGLE and CWEAVE, localized in German
- and English under AMIGADOS version 2.1 or 3.0, the other for use with
- the SAS/C 6.x compiler in connection with CED version 3.5.
-
- - Both CTANGLE and CWEAVE are localized in German and English with the
- help of the `locale.library' of AMIGADOS 2.1/3.0. Catalogs for other
- languages can easily be added. A set of German strings is provided.
-
- - An algorithm for recursive `@i'nclude file search was adapted from the
- TeX and METAFONT implementation.
-
- - The `o' option as described in `cwebman.tex' was added in connection
- with the `i' option by Steger.
-
- - Five additional CWEB example programs are included as examples for the
- portability between PASCAL-WEB and C-CWEB and for the usage of the C++
- features of version 3.1. The fifth example program is a simple text
- converter for files with extended character codes of ISO-Latin-1,
- PC-850, MAC 8-bit font, and HP 8-bit font.
-
- - All three system programs support the `version' information command.
-
- - Both CTANGLE and CWEAVE are compiled in the NEAR data segment and can
- be made resident.
-
- - The `m' option enables ARexx communication between CWEB and the SAS/C
- message browser SCMSG. Any warnings or error messages are transferred
- to its list window. The behaviour of this feature can be controlled
- via the external environment variable SCMSGOPT, which may be set to
- any legal option string as described in the documentation of the SAS/C
- development system by SAS Institute.
-
- This port was done and completely tested with SAS/C version 6.3 and SAS/C++
- version 6.51 on the AMIGA. After completion the package was re-ported to
- various UNIX systems (HP 9000, HP-PA, Sun, SGI) with CC, C89, and GCC, and
- ported to MSDOS with TURBO-C++ 3.1. Provided that all these ports work
- successfully, I am quite sure that all bugs have been found and fixed.
