Short: Literate programming discipline for C.
Type: dev/c or dev/misc
Uploader: Andreas Scherer
Authors: Silvio Levy and Donald Knuth
This is the portability implementation of Silvio Levy's and Donald E.
Knuths's CWEB system, version 3.1 of November 1993, compiled and provided
with changefiles for ANSI-C, TURBO-C, and SAS/C 6.x and makefiles for
UNIX-make, TURBO-make and smake by Andreas Scherer. It is based on the
CWEB 3.1 port by Tomas Willis and the CWEB 2.8 port by Carsten Steger and
the CWEB-p 3.0 distribution by Hans-Hermann Bode and Klaus Guntermann,
including all features of the original UNIX implementation like ANSI-C and
C++ support, full ASCII input capability, and more, plus all enhancements
made in these AMIGA, MSDOS and UNIX ports plus some special features like:
- The complete source code is capable of being recompiled with SAS/C for
AMIGADOS, with GCC and TURBOC for MSDOS, and with CC, C89, and GCC
for UNIX without the need for further changes.
- The `gcwebmac.tex' macro package activated by setting the `+g' option
includes support for special characters like German umlauts and some
frequently used specials according to ISO 8859-1/ECMA-94, IBM PC
International Codepage 850, Macintosh 8-bit font table and HP Roman 8.
All captions used by CWEB are translated to German in this macro file.
- There are TeX macro files `ecma94.tex', `hp8.tex', `mac8.tex', and
`pc850.tex' for support of extended code tables. Also included
are `ecma94.w', `hp8.w', `mac8.w', and `pc850.w' with appropriate
transliteration tables.
- Two AREXX scripts for use with the CygnusEd Professional Editor were
added to this package, one for CTANGLE and CWEAVE, localized in German
and English under AMIGADOS version 2.1 or 3.0, the other for use with
the SAS/C 6.x compiler in connection with CED version 3.5.
- Both CTANGLE and CWEAVE are localized in German and English with the
help of the `locale.library' of AMIGADOS 2.1/3.0. Catalogs for other
languages can easily be added. A set of German strings is provided.
- An algorithm for recursive `@i'nclude file search was adapted from the
TeX and METAFONT implementation.
- The `o' option as described in `cwebman.tex' was added in connection
with the `i' option by Steger.
- Four additional CWEB example programs are included as examples for the
portability between PASCAL-WEB and C-CWEB and for the usage of the C++
features of version 3.1.
- All three system programs support the `version' information command.
- Both CTANGLE and CWEAVE are compiled in the NEAR data segment and can
be made resident.
- The `m' option enables ARexx communication between CWEB and the SAS/C
message browser SCMSG. Any warnings or error messages are transferred
to its list window. The behaviour of this feature can be controlled
via the external environment variable SCMSGOPT, which may be set to
any legal option string as described in the documentation to the SAS/C
development system by SAS Institute.
This port was done and completely tested with SAS/C version 6.3 and SAS/C++
6.51 on the AMIGA. After completion the package was ported to various UNIX
systems with CC, C89, and GCC, and to MSDOS with TURBO-C++ 3.1. Provided
that all these ports work successfully, I am quite sure that all bugs have
been found and fixed.
