minimal-basic (compiler for ECMA-55 Minimal BASIC)
|
|
|
|
This software is a compiler for 'Minimal BASIC' as specified by the
|
|
ECMA-55 standard. The target is AMD64/EM64T/x86-64 machines running a
|
|
modern Linux distribution.
|
|
|
|
The compiler is called ecma55, but it's normally called via wrapper
|
|
scripts called BASICC, BASICCS, or BASICCW. Man pages are included for
|
|
all of these commands.
|
|
|
|
There's sample code in /usr/share/minimal-basic, and quite a bit
|
|
of documentation in /usr/doc/minimal-basic-$VERSION, including a
|
|
copy of the language standard (ECMA-55.TXT) and a complete book
|
|
(Learn_BASIC.pdf).
|
|
|
|
Note: This will only compile on x86_64 because it's partly written in
|
|
x86_64 assembly. No way will it ever compile for 32-bit x86 (or any
|
|
ARM). Even if it would build on 32-bit, it would be a cross compiler:
|
|
it only generates x86_64 code, which would not be very useful on an
|
|
x86 system.
