Description of Samples
----------------------
We assume here, that XDS was properly installed, the working
directory was created and the "mkwrkdir" file was executed
(See readme.1st).
All examples in this text is provided for OS/2 version.
See your readme.1st file for the information concerning
your distribution.
The "samples" directory contains the following subdirectories
and files:
simple - simple samples
dhry - dhrystone test (note: a single module dhrystone
test is placed to the "simple" directory)
See also "bench.txt".
nodes - an Oberon-2 example, illustrating the using
of Oberon run-time support.
pmhello - an example of Program Manager application, written
in Modula-2. Rewritten STDWND example from OS/2
Developer's Toolkit.
cset - provides an example of mixed project, which
consists of Modula-2 and C units.
IBM's C compiler used.
watcom - provides an example of mixed project, which
consists of Modula-2 and C units.
WATCOM's C compiler used.
*.prj - XDS project files for samples .
samples\simple
--------------
All the samples on this directory consists of the only module.
Tests are written in Modula-2 and in Oberon-2. In these tests the
specific features of Oberon-2 are not used.
The following tests are provided:
hello.mod Hello, World (Modula-2)
hello.ob2 Hello, World (Oberon-2)
hisdemo.mod History demo (Modula-2) (See hisdemo.prj)
ackerman.ob2 Ackermann function (Oberon-2)
exp.ob2 Calculate exponent (Oberon-2)
exp.mod Calculate exponent (Modula-2)
self.ob2 Print self text (Oberon-2)
sieve.ob2 Prime numbers (Oberon-2)
sieve.mod Prime numbers (Modula-2)
fact.mod Factorial (Modula-2)
halt.mod Termination (Modula-2)
term.mod Termination (Modula-2)
except.mod Exceptions (Modula-2)
dry.mod Dhrystone (Modula-2)
(single module)
whet.mod Whetstone (Modula-2)
The redirection file "xc.red" contains path to the SIMPLE
directory. To get an executable program from a test, invoke "xc"
in the make mode passing the name of the test:
xc hello.mod =make
or
xc hello.ob2 =make
After that run the program:
hello
Another way is to compile a test separately, invoking "xc" with
the name of the test:
xc hello.mod
or
xc hello.ob2
To build the program use the xl.cmd file.
xl hello
After that run the program:
hello
For "hisdemo" sample, use:
xc hisdemo.mod =make +genhistory
To see the stack of procedure calls ("execution history") use
his utility (C:\XDS\BIN\his.exe):
his
It searches for "errinfo.xds" file and appropriate map file to
produce the list of procedure calls. Every item of the list consists
of a source file name, a line number and optionaly a procedure name.
samples\dhry
------------
The "dhry" directory contains two variants of well known Dhrystone
test:
puredhry.mod
timedhry.mod
Both tests imports "dry1" and "dry2" libraries.
To prepare executable use PROJECT operation mode. The working directory
contains the project file "puredhry.prj".
xc =p puredhry
A response file "puredhry.rsp" will be created after compilation
and "link386" will be called to link the program.
If you have not enough memory, run
link386 @puredhry.rsp
samples\nodes
-------------
The "nodes" subdirectory contains the following files, constituting
the Oberon-2 program:
Nodes.ob2 - definition of abstract Node class
Echo.ob2 - concrete Node extension
GenEcho.ob2 - concrete Node extension
Commands.ob2 - concrete Node extension
Types.ob2 - concrete Node extension
runme.ob2 - the top-level module
To build the program invoke:
xc =p nodes.prj
The "Nodes" module defines an abstract object (Node). Objects of
this type are linked in the list. The module "Nodes" also
implement the command monitor ("Loop" procedure). The "Loop"
procedure reads an input from keyboard and then passes the input
to the current node, or if the input line starts from "."
executes some standard action.
The module "runme" imports modules defining the extensions of
type Node (concrete classes), inserts it in the list and then
call "Nodes.Loop".
Nodes.Node extensions:
----------------------
"Echo" - implements a node which prints its input to terminal.
"GenEcho" - if the number N is specified in the input line
creates "N" examples of the "Echo" Node.
"Commands" - provides facilities to call commands (exported
parameterless procedures) in the form:
ModuleName.ProcedureName
Also implements operations to enumerate all modules
in the program and all commands in the given module.
"Types" - provides facilities to allocate an object by the
given name in the form:
ModuleName.RecordTypeName
Modules "Types" and "Commands" illustrates the using of
meta-language facilities, including the command calls and
creating an object by its type name.
It is important to note, that the XDS does not support the
dynamic loading of the modules. You can use commands and types
from the modules which are already linked in the program.
samples\pmhello
----------------
The directory contains:
pmhello.mod - Modula-2 module
pmhello.res - resource file
To build the program, run
xc pmhello =p
This sample was taken from OS/2 Developer's Toolkit and rewritten
from C to Modula-2. It shows how to write Presentation Manager
application in Modula or Oberon. Definition module OS2.def was
derived from header files *.H of the same Toolkit.
Now this file contains almost all API definition but it still under
work so you may find some lacks and mistranslations.
If you are going to write your PM application now, take the
following in the consideration:
1) If OS2.def does not contain a definition of function that
you need, you can use external procedure specification,
for instance:
PROCEDURE ["SysCall"] / DosBeep(freq, dur: CARDINAL): OS2.APIRET;
2) Standard os2386.lib should be linked to all PM applications instead
minimal interface library os2min.lib, which provides access to restricted
number of API calls only.
samples\cset
------------
The directory contains:
cmain.c - main module of the program (C)
m2test.def - definition module
m2test.mod - implementation module
m2test.h - header file (manually written)
stdio.def - interface to <stdio.h>
cset.tem - template file
The sample shows how to write mixed project, i.e. projects written
partially in C and partially in Modula or Oberon. To compile
this test, the IBM's CSET should be properly installed.
For such a project the CSET library should be used.
To build the program, run:
xc cset =p
Take in attention that XDS compiler does not support _Optlink calling
conventions yet. So you can not call from Modula-2/Oberon-2 directly
those functions of standard CSET library which use such conventions.
To call _Optlink C function you must provide an intermediate C function
with _SysCall conventions.
samples\watcom
--------------
The directory contains:
cmain.c - main module of the program (C)
m2test.def - definition module
m2test.mod - implementation module
m2test.h - header file (manually written)
stdio.def - interface to <stdio.h>
watcom.tem - template file
The samples show how to write mixed project, i.e. projects written
partially in C and partially in Modula or Oberon. To compile
this test, the Watcom C should be properly installed. For such
a project the Watcom linker and Watcom libraries should be used.
To build the program, run:
xc watcom =p
--------------------------------
Note: stdio.def provides an interface to <stdio.h>. Not all
function are available or properly tested. This file is not an
official part of XDS distribution.
If you are going to write mixed projects, use cmain.c as an
example. XDS run-time support should be properly installed.
