This page documents a software package available on the
Computing Laboratory network, under the Solaris 2 operating
system (on both Sparc and Intel architectures).
obc - Oberon-2 compiler
Obc is a portable compiler that translates the
programming language Oberon-2 into machine-independent
bytecode.
The compiler was written by Mike Spivey to support the first-year
course Procedural Programming.
Obc is maintained by
Mike Spivey,
not by the support staff.
Version v1.3
This is the default version.
It offers line-count profiling, more Oberon-2 language features,
and a new, more compact, binary format
for executable bytecode files.
The package includes the commands
obc,
obprof and
obdump.
obc and obprof are available
in the default search path (in /usr/local/bin),
and obdump is available after giving the command
"use obc".
