It consists of + + * an optimizing compiler, + * a number of source code and compiler related tools, + * a set of standard library modules, and + * a reference manual. + +oo2c is the first complete working compiler of the OOC project. +Instead of translating Oberon-2 modules to machine code, it generates +code for the most portable assembler in existence: ANSI-C. The +compiler was initially intended as a prototype backend for OOC, which +could then be used to evaluate and debug the frontend and the +optimization modules. However, it is now a full-fledged development +system, and among other things, it is being used to develop native +code OOC backends. |
