pl1gcc-0.0.14

This is the fourteenth code drop of the GCC front-end for the PL/I programming language.

PL/I for GCC is released under the terms of the GNU Public License; version 2.

With pl1gcc-0.0.14 another important milestone has been reached. v0.0.14 is the first release where it is possible to create a partly referencelist for the variables in a program, and an overview of %INCLUDE files.

Beside structure level information the referencelist contains the following declare attributes:

REAL/COMPLEX
FIXED/FLOAT
BINARY/DECIMAL
AUTOMATIC/BASED/CONTROLLED/DEFINED/STATIC/PARAMETER
INTERNAL/EXTERNAL
AREA/BIT/CHARACTER/GRAPHIC/PICTURE/WIDECHAR/DATE
PROCEDURE/ENTRY

There is still no code generation taking place, so don't run out and uninstall your production PL/I compiler just yet :-)

Changes in v0.0.14:

added location information to most messages
get rid of warning messages when building pl1gcc
synchronize with gcc version 4.3

Changed syntax in v0.0.14:

allow the tilde(~) character as not operator
allow BUFF as abbreviation for BUFFERS
allow ENVIRONMENT( ... ) as part of OPEN statement
allow %INCLUDE to have filename inside quotes

What is pl1gcc ?

The pl1gcc project is an attempt to create a native PL/I compiler using the GNU Compiler Collection.
The project is looking for more people to join the development and testing. If you want to help speed up the development of a free PL/I compiler please do contact us and join the fun.

And finally remember to have some fun
