EasyRexx Benchmark Modula-2 Translation Notes
11/5/95
---------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
> Benchmark M2 compiler v1 or higher
> Benchmark M2 Interface for AmigaDOS v2.04 or higher
Interface Definition Translation
> Removed underscores from identifiers.
> ARexxContext and ARexxCommandShell are hidden types. Fields accessed only
via functions from this interface.
> C macros are procedures.
> C static initialization of recording pointer is a pair
of Create/Free procedures.
> No variable-number-of-parameters procedures.
Interface Implementation
> Resident library link via stub routines.
Protos Translation
> Define an additional identifier, AREXXENDTABLE, the index of the
last entry in the command table.
> The main program needs a name.
> Command table's initialization is done by a call to an initializier
procedure.
> Utilizes library base from implementation, and relies on that module's
initialization to start it out at NIL.
M2 Syntax Notes
> CASE (switch) statement case separation marker is "|". Put one after each case as you
would a break;
eg, CASE i OF
0: a := b+1;
c := d+2;
|
1: a := d+1;
|
2: a := d+2;
c := b+1;
END;
