Description:
|
Gives languages like C a module structure more
akin to TurboPascal. Support for a more dynamic form
of OOP is still in development, although the hooks
are here. Some documentation is really needed, any
voulanteers?
|
|---|
-
Features:
|
well written code (IMHO), can easily add your own
extensions and integrated them with little effort.
|
|---|
-
Bugs:
|
It could do a better job of copying C code rather than
using MACRO's. Later.

Description:
|
C-Refine is a preprocessor for C and languages that
vaguely resemble C's syntax. It allows symbolic naming
of code fragments so as to redistribute complexity and
provide running commentary.

Description:
|
A general-purpose macro processor that uses pattern
matching and replacement. It can be used as a
pre-processor or to translate one language to another, or
to extract selected information from files.
|
|---|
-
Features:
|
- Does not impose any particular syntax for macro calls.
- No built-in assumptions about input language syntax.
- Can recognize patterns spanning multiple lines.
- Handles recursive patterns, such as matching pairs of
nested parentheses.
- Different sets of rules can be used in different contexts.
- Easy to ignore redundant white space.

Description:
|
A very high quality, very portable compiler for C, C++,
Objective-C. The compiler is designed to support multiple
front-ends and multiple back-ends by translating first
into RTL (Register Transfer Language) and from there into
assembly for the target architecture. Front ends for
C (gcc), C++ (g++), Objective C, Fortran, Java (GCJ), and Ada (GNAT)
are all under active development.
|
|---|
-
Conformance:
|
C: superset of K&R C and ANSI C.
C++: supports most ARM features; exceptions supported
only on some platforms. Supports "bool". Alpha-level
RTTI implementation included. Not yet supported: member
templates, namespaces. Developers are tracking the draft
ANSI/ISO standard and are committee members.
Objective-C: Complies with NeXT proposed (ANSI?) standard.

Description:
|
A macro preprocessor, more flexible than cpp.
It copies its input to the output, expanding macros. Macros
are either built-in or user-defined. `m4' has built-in
functions for including files, running Unix commands, doing
integer arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways,
recursing, etc. `m4' can be used either as a front-end to a
compiler or as a macro processor in its own right.

Conformance:

Mostly SVR4 compatible with a few extensions.
