A GCC COBOL status report
[Posted February 10, 2023 by corbet]
For those who have been anxiously awaiting the release of a GCC-based compiler for the COBOL language, James K. Lowden has a status report with some good news:
The GCC Cobol aspirant is now 16 months old, and pupating. If Cobol's 60-year history were an hour, gcobol is now one minute old.When last we met our intrepid duo, gcobol had compiled 100 programs, perhaps 1000 lines of Cobol. Today we're pleased to announce a milestone: success with "nucleus" and "intrinsic function" modules of the NIST CCVS-85 test suite. [...]
We have, in other words, a verified, working Cobol-85 compiler.
