Hello everyone,
I have a few more questions.
When porting modules is their a standard practice in commenting them?
E.g. "Ported from Oberon-2 to Oberon-2, DATE INITIALS"
I've been looking at directory layouts in POSIX environments for porting
Texts.Mod (and dependencies) to Oberon-7. There appears to be a practice
of having a "share" (Ofront) or "source" (A2) for truly portable folder
code and target specific (e.g. raspbian/linux386 on Ofront and ARM,
Linux32, Linux64 on A2). Is there a similar practice around compiler
differences? In the POSIX environment I'm relying on OBNC but how OBNC
includes C code is different than Oxford or Ofront. Has anyone come up
with a good approach to addressing compatibility issues at the compiler
level?
I think adopting an existing pattern (if it is simple and not simpler)
would be a good idea as I experiment with porting Texts.Mod to POSIX for
Native Oberon 2.3.7 and V4.
All the best,
Robert
