  • TugBoat compiler source code

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 29 00:21:32 2019
    Hi!

    I would like to know if anyone has the source code of this ( https://web.archive.org/web/20011108195705/http://www.geocities.com/cl2cru/ ) CA-Clipper translator for C, and the binary as well.
    If so, can you share with me?

    thank you

    There are references to Clipper to C translators on the Oasis, but the links appear to be dead.

    There are a couple of efforts that are still going:
    https://harbour.github.io/ ... not sure if it can still produce C base code. https://www.xharbour.com/ (paid) or http://www.xharbour.org/ (free) ... which I know can produce C source.

    BUT any of those are going to be heavily dependent on libraries to handle the burden of the various command and function calls, so the C code generated from your source is just going to make a lot of calls into those libraries.

    Hi,

    Take a look on https://www.xsharp.info/

    Also there is a way to convert code to other languages. See the next links ( X# workshop ).

    How goes the on-ramp for (x)Harbour? They made a Big Deal about collecting Visual Objects users, and claimed "someday" they'd help us (which would by default help most Clipper users.

    Hi,

    I have written quite a few large programs in dBase III, Clipper and Visual Objects with SQL via ADOrdd. Migrated to C sharp and SQL around 2014. I did not follow the Vulcan development. The later coming X # seems to have a future with .NET. xHarbour I
    did not follow.

    Everyone is free to choose. I think the Clipper - Visual Objects - X sharp (.NET) path is the more logical step. You can work in the X sharp XIDE or in .NET (Visual Studio). In the latter you can mix multiple languages in one application and make the
    application portable to another environment and use mainstream .NET libraries (github).

    Regards,
    Frans

    Happy new year to you all!
    Thanks for the replies, but I'm looking for the TugBoat source code, in particular

    I know about the existence of these other compilers :)

    If this isn't it, then I did't help you: https://github.com/petems/tugboat

    Not very many commercial packages released their source code.

    Hi, there's a chance TugBoat was made by the same ppl that created the VOstok compiler

    That site has gone also, but trying the WayBack Machine with this url might bring up some additional pointers
