Below is a translation of the sc.draco (written in draco of course) into c.
It compiles under Lattice 3.10. I didn't do the translation, a friend did,
but I thought others might be interested in this, so I'm posting it for
him.
--------------
While I'm here, I'll say a few things about the *local* state of the freely
redistributable C compiler originally found on Fish Disk 53.
1) It generates correct Amiga 68k assembler source (that can be assembled
by any assembler that follows the AmigaDOS manual assembler format). There
is also an option to produce assembler source that the Lattice 3.10
assembler will handle.
2) It has been used to successfully compile several small C programs.
ie. It is use-able on small stuff.
3) It's executible is about 70k. (as compared to the reports of 400k to 1.2
meg for GNU C).
4) It ***almost*** compiles itself. By almost I mean that the program that
results from the compiler compiling itself runs, but doesn't produce
correct output.
I've been hunting down the problem, but I am now entering a school term,
and my time will drop to about zip to work on this. Is there someone out
there that :
a) has a compiler (becuase this compiler won't compile itself yet)
b) has the desire to see a PD-type C compiler working ?
c) has the time to help finish porting this to the Amiga ?
If so, send me some email, and I'll see about getting you a copy of the
compiler source.
---------------
On a related note, what is happening with the port of GNU C to the Amiga ? It
was mentioned a while ago that several people were attempting this feat.
How is it coming ? (ie. if it is almost done ... it doesn't make sense to
have several PD-type C compilers ...)
