comp.lang.c FAQ list · Question 20.26

Q: Does anyone know of a program for converting Pascal or FORTRAN (or LISP, Ada, awk, ``Old'' C, ...) to C?

A: Several freely distributable programs are available:

• p2c A Pascal to C converter written by Dave Gillespie, posted to comp.sources.unix in March, 1990 (Volume 21); also available by anonymous ftp from csvax.cs.caltech.edu, file pub/p2c-1.20.tar.Z .
• ptoc Another Pascal to C converter, this one written in Pascal (comp.sources.unix, Volume 10, also patches in Volume 13?).
• f2c A FORTRAN to C converter jointly developed by people from Bell Labs, Bellcore, and Carnegie Mellon. (f2c is really a FORTRAN compiler with a C backend--the output is not intended to be maintainable.) To find out more about f2c, send the mail message ``send index from f2c'' to netlib@research.att.com or research!netlib. (It is also available via anonymous ftp on netlib.att.com, in directory netlib/f2c/.)

• A PL/M to C converter was posted to alt.sources in April, 1991.
