- CDECL.EXE
-
- CDECL converts C declarations to English, and back. It is very useful
- in analyzing and producing complex declarations. It runs interactively,
- or will convert declarations in files. CDECL is most useful for beginning
- C programmers, but even experienced C'ers can find it effective. After all,
- let the machine do the hard work!
-
- This program has been around for years in one form or another. It was
- released into PD, and I picked it up and converted it to run under DOS
- and OS/2 (it is a "bound" dual-mode program). If source is desired, it
- is available, but requires YACC.
-
- A convenient use for CDECL is to use it with the Microsoft PWB "pipe"
- extension, or the "pipe" feature of VI. You can key in the declarations
- in the editor like "declare x as pointer to array of pointer to int" and
- have the declaration replaced by proper C code!
-
- Have fun!
