Description:
|
m2tom3 is a system to port Modula-2 programs to Modula-3.
It consists of two parts:
1) A conversion program which tries to create a Modula-3
source text with the same semantics as the Modula-2 input
while retaining the original look and feel as good as possible.
2) A base library which tries to emulate the Modula-2 standard
library using the Modula-3 standard library.
This version performs a wide range of conversions including
WITH-statements, variant RECORDS, qualification of enumeration
type literals etc.
For a detailed description, see the enclosed README file.

Description:
|
The goal of Modula-3 is to be as simple and safe as it
can be while meeting the needs of modern systems
programmers. Instead of exploring new features, we
studied the features of the Modula family of languages
that have proven themselves in practice and tried to
simplify them into a harmonious language. We found
that most of the successful features were aimed at one
of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler,
more systematic type system. Modula-3 retains one of
Modula-2's most successful features, the provision for
explicit interfaces between modules. It adds objects
and classes, exception handling, garbage collection,
lightweight processes (or threads), and the isolation
of unsafe features.
