- Interpreting, C-like language library
- .description
- FPL is an interpreting script/macro language shared library,
- designed to be flexible and easy inserted in any code.
-
- FPL is a complete script programming language _very_ similar
- to C. If you are a software developer and plan to add any
- kind of macro/script control, consider the FPL alternative!
-
- FPL library lets the software programmer define functions
- and variables that FPL should accept. The library will call
- a function in the software whenever any of these functions
- are used or variables are read in an FPL program.
-
- FPL is portable to any modern operating system, and the
- package includes binaries for Amiga, OS/2 and Intel SVR4
- UNIX. Source is included.
-
- The language FPL includes features like:
-
- o Full ANSI C syntax statements with semicolon separations.
-
- o String, integer/long, char and short variables, including
- multidimensional arrays.
-
- o 100% ANSI C operator precedence and expression syntax/
- evaluation.
-
- o A subset of the ANSI C function declaration and prototyping
- syntax and concepts. The use of functions is exactly as C.
-
- o Fully recursive, fully re-entrant.
-
- o while, for, if, do, break, continue, else, int, exit, char,
- long, register, auto, volatile, typedef, const, switch and
- return are 100% ANSI C compatible. 'while' has been extended
- with an 'else' support and 'break' with a multi level break
- option.
-
- o A number of internal functions which include: strcmp,
- strncmp, strstr, atoi, strtol, strlen, abs, sprintf and the
- FPL specific substr, eval, ltostr and interpret!
