Mindy for MPW?
Satefan
In my spare time I'm trying to learn more about writing compilers (using
the Dragon book), but I'm sick of using C. I can use Mindy on Solaris or
IRIX, which works fine, but when I'm traveling by train or sit in the
garden at home I would like to use an MPW version of Mindy on my
Powerbook. Does such a beast exist yet? If not, how hard would it be to
port it?
Greetings,

Satefan:
I have two compiler books. (Actually three if you count the O'Reilly book
about Lex & Yacc!) One is the Dragon book, the other is "Programming
Language Processors" by David A. Watt. (Prentice-Hall 1993, 0-13-720129-X).
It's one of the best programming texts I've read. Describes the construction
from the ground up of an LL(1) parser for a regularized subset of Pascal.
Gives full Think Pascal source code for the compiler. Highly recommended.

If I recall correctly, a person at CMU was working on an MPW version. If
that hasn't seen the light of day yet, then there are my drop-on versions
for 68K and PowerPC. I have a version that runs under the Symantec C++ 8.0.3
environment, but that won't run on a PowerBook (unless you're lucky enough
to have a PowerPC PowerBook!).
An MPW version should be very easy to put together from my current sources.
If there is a real demand for this, I'll see if I can fit it in.
