Cobol for GCC / News: Recent posts

With 18,000 lines of code written. I am now integrating with GCC. I have a skeleton framework done, and the program now builds within the GCC build framework. So I have now uploaded selected parts of GCC V4.3 so the whole thing builds. This means the CVS download is now about 140mb.

As of 18 April 2007 work has started again.

Tim Josling writes a column every two months on the status of free COBOL implementations. You can read it at htttp://cobolreport.com

The initial target of the project is a useable subset of the language that can be used for writint most or all of the compiler runtime. We are getting close to delivering this. at the moment we only have if, perform, call/functions, and 88 levels to go.

Better debugging info (file and line numbers), Upgrade to cobol.el.
