Coco/R for C++ and other new developments

New releases of Coco/R
======================


The latest versions of Coco/R - including the new C++ version - are now
available from the sites listed below:


Latest developments:


Turbo Pascal and Modula-2 versions:


Version 1.40 has been developed to be as portable as possible across all
many Modula-2 compilers and operating systems. There are numerous small
improvements from earlier versions, and to bring it more in line with the
1.06 C/C++ version.


C/C++ version:


Version 1.06 has the option of generating either C or C++ code. The C++
version generates scanner and parser classes based on a simple but effective
class hierarchy. This C/C++ version is released by Frankie Arzu
(farzu@kirika.uvg.edu.gt)


It is hoped in time to provide a set of "larger" examples using Coco/R.
A few of these have already been placed on the server at uvg.edu.gt. One is
for a C-like language generating 80x86 code using IBURG, another is for the
well-known Pascal-S subset.


Within a few months my forthcoming introductory textbook on compiler
construction - which makes considerable use of Coco/r- is due for
publication.

Look for the files README.1st and READ.ME for details of what to get and how
to unpack the kits.


For those who do not know, Coco/R generates recursive descent parsers and
their associated scanners from attribute grammars. Coco/R is extremely easy
to use - for example, the scanner and the parser are both generated from a
common input grammar specification file, and the system also generates a
driver program for the complete compiler. Full source code and a variety
of simple example applications are supplied in the distribution kits.
