- Modula-2 Frequently Asked Questions
-
- Whats new in version 2.2?
- There is some new/revised vendor and site info -- some thirty or forty
- additions and changes throughout. A few "new" questions are answered, and
- some new answers to old questions are given. There is some new material
- in the Bibliography. There seems to be a sense on comp.lang.modula-2
- that the language is undergoing a bit of a revival. I should also
- comment that maintaining this in HTML is a LOT of extra work.
-
- =====================================================
-

-
- =====================================================
-
- 1. WHAT IS MODULA-2?
- A. Modula-2 is a programming notation that corrects some of the
- deficiencies of Pascal. It is suitable for learning programming, for
- large projects written and maintained in the fashion of professional
- software engineers, and for real time embedded systems.
-
-
- 1.1 Who developed Modula-2?
- A. Modula-2 was developed by Niklaus Wirth at ETH in Zurich, Switzerland
- in the late 70's. Wirth also developed Pascal and Oberon.
- see: http://www.stfx.ca/people/jandrea/m2/nwirth/
-
-
- 1.2 Where is this language described?
- A. In Programming in Modula-2 3rd edition published by Springer-Verlag in
- 1985. For the purposes of distinguishing this from later variants, this
- description will be referred to herein as classical Modula-2.
-
-
- 1.3 How do you pronounce Herr Wirth's name?
- A. It is incorrect to call him by his value (worth.) Instead his name is
- veart.
-
- 1.4 Can I get a simple introduction to ISO Modula-2?
- Yes, at http://www.twu.ca/faculty/fnas/math/rsbook/Welcome.html
- Mirrors: http://eiunix.tuwien.ac.at/Modula-2/rsbook/
-
-
- 1.5 How does Modula-2 fit into the language zoo?
- A. It is a descendent of Pascal and Modula, and one predecessor of
- Modula-2+, Modula-2*, Modula-3, Oberon, Oberon-2, and various object
- oriented versions of these. The latter languages are not replacements for
- Modula-2, merely later notations in the same family, having strengths and
- weaknesses of their own. Modula-2 is sometimes classified with Ada and C
- as the trio of modern languages in view of their expressive power.
- Modula-2 is smaller and more readable than either.
-
-
- 1.6 What are the differences between Modula-2 and Pascal?
- A. Modula-2 has separately compiled library modules, and makes much less
- use of blocks (begin...) than Pascal. Identifiers are case sensitive;
- there is no goto label; and I/O is in libraries rather than built in. The
- IF statement is more versatile; and there are facilities for concurrent
- programming via coroutines.
-
-
- 1.7 What is ISO Standard Modula-2?
- A. A committee of ISO JTC1/SC22/WG13 with delegates from several
- countries has met since 1987 to work on a standard description of Modula-
- 2 and a set of standard library modules.
-
-
- 1.7.1 What is the status of ISO Standard Modula-2?
- A. The international standard (IS 10514) has been voted on and will be
- official as soon as the comments have been attended to.
-
-
- 1.7.2 Where can I get the Modula-2 standard?
- A1. Contact your national standards body or the IEEE.
-
- A2. Try looking in ftp://titania.mathematik.uni-
- ulm.de/pub/soft/modula/standard/draft4/
-
- 1.7.3 What format is the standard document in?
- A. Latex.
-
-
- 1.7.4 Who is the convenor of the standards group (WG13)?
- A. Mark Woodman at m.woodman@open.ac.uk.
- NOTE: Mark Woodman has not been available for some time, and Kees Pronk
- c.pronk@twi.tudelft.nl has been appointed by SC22 as interim convenor of
- WG13.
-
-
- 1.7.5 Will I be able to read the standard?
- A1. The concrete syntax is written in a variation of EBNF (Extended
- Backus-Naur Formalism) and should be accessible to most.
-
- A2. Much of the document's details are written in VDM-SL (Vienna
- Development Method - Specification Language) which is a formalism for
- giving a precise definition of a programming language in a denotational
- style. It is worth learning VDM-SL if you plan to write a compiler or
- take a course in formal methods.
-
-
- 1.7.6 Can I at least get electronic copies of the definition modules?
- A. Yes, in ftp://FTP.twu.ca/FTP/pub/modula2/ISOLibraries/ISODEFMods/ or
- ftp://titania.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/pub/soft/modula/standard/libdefs/
-
-
- 1.7.7 Can I get copies of the grammer?
- A1. Yes, in
- http://www.twu.ca/faculty/fnas/math/rsbook/Appendices/Ap3.nisus.html
- A2. For classical Modula-2, see also COCO (section 4.9)
-
-
- 1.8 What difference is there between classical and ISO Modula-
- 2?
- A. ISO Modula-2 has resolved most of the ambiguities in classical Modula-
- 2. It adds the data type COMPLEX and LONGCOMPLEX, exceptions, module
- termination (FINALLY clause) and a complete standard I/O library. There
- are numerous minor differences and clarifications.
-
-
- 1.8.1 What else is WG13 doing?
- A. WG13 is working on two additional standards (separate from the main
- one) for (a) object oriented Modula-2 and (b) generic programming
- facilities. A ballot is at least several months away. Various versions of
- the latest generics proposal are stored in the directory
- ftp://FTP.twu.ca/FTP/pub/modula2/WG13/
-
- 1.9 What is (was) Turbo Modula-2
- A. Borland prepared CP/M versions of Modula-2 and sold them for a time in
- Europe (also in North America via a distributer. One of these versions
- later migrated to become TopSpeed Modula-2.
-
- 1.10 Where and for what is Modula-2 used?
- A1. Modula-2 is widely used for teaching the fundamentals of sound
- programming techniques, data structures, and software engineering in many
- parts of the world. It is the language of choice in much of Europe. It
- has features that make it superior to other languages for large projects
- and for programming and real time controllers.
-
- A2. Here is a message sent in by a maker of test equipment:
- Our BoardWizard range of test equipment has compilers,pseudo-code
- interpreters and a complete test operating system written in M2. The
- code was written for one tester in 1987 and has been maintained from that
- date to the present. New tester models have added and new interface and
- UI code has been written, indeed sections have been completely re-written
- but much of the core test logic is untouched since about 1990 when I
- shifted to management. Much of the code is unknown to those who maintain
- it - yet when i look at it after several years I can still explain it to
- others even though comments are sparse. I believe that that is the
- hallmark of a great programming language. (Emphasis added.)

-
- 1.12 Why do universities use Modula-2 for teaching instead of C
- or C++?
- A. Modula-2 is a type-safe language and its compilers will therefore
- catch many errors that otherwise show up at run time. While professional
- programmers need to learn C because it is commonly used, it is important
- to begin a discipline of deliberate, engineered programming at the
- outset.
-
-
- 1.13 Why is Modula-2 a good language for large commercial
- projects?
- A1. It supports modular design which reduced errors and cuts down on
- maintenance time. This also allows platform dependencies to be isolated,
- increasing portability.
-
- A2. see: Griffith, Laurie Modula-2 is three times less error prone than
- C, Proceedings of the Second International Modula-2 Conference,
- Loughborough University of Technology, UK, September 1991, pp 332-338.
-
- 1.14 Where do I get information on Oberon and Modula-3?
- A. These languages have their own newsgroups.
