XTRAN Demonstration:  Translating PL/I Calling Arguments to C

The following example used the standard set of XTRAN rules for parsing PL/I and translating it to C.  NOTE that the translation shown below was done with default conditions.  XTRAN provides many options for controlling the way it translates.


* Input to XTRAN:

    DCL subr1 ENTRY;                    /*DCL subr1 ENTRY;*/
    DCL subr2 ENTRY (BINARY FLOAT(6),   /*DCL subr2 ENTRY (BINARY FLOAT(6),*/
      BINARY FIXED(31),                 /*BINARY FIXED(31),*/
      BINARY FLOAT(6));                 /*BINARY FLOAT(6));*/
    DCL subr3 ENTRY (BINARY FIXED(31),  /*DCL subr3 ENTRY (BINARY FIXED(31),*/

      BINARY FLOAT(6));                 /*BINARY FLOAT(6));*/
    DCL subr4 ENTRY (BINARY FLOAT(6),   /*DCL subr2 ENTRY (BINARY FLOAT(6),*/
      BINARY FLOAT(6));                 /*BINARY FLOAT(6));*/
    DCL func1 ENTRY (BINARY FIXED(31),  /*DCL func1 ENTRY (BINARY FIXED(31),*/

      BINARY FLOAT(6))                  /*BINARY FLOAT(6))*/
      RETURNS (BINARY FIXED(31));       /*RETURNS (BINARY FIXED(31));*/
    DCL func2 ENTRY (BINARY FLOAT(6),   /*DCL func2 ENTRY (BINARY FLOAT(6),*/
      BINARY FIXED(31))                 /*BINARY FIXED(31))*/
      RETURNS (BINARY FIXED(31));       /*RETURNS (BINARY FIXED(31));*/

proc1: PROCEDURE;
            CALL subr1;                 /*CALL subr1;*/
            CALL subr2(                 /*CALL subr2(*/
              a + 1.0,                  /*a + 1.0,*/
              func1(b, c + func2(d, 3)), /*func1(b, c + func2(d, 3)),*/
              e);                       /*e);*/
            CALL subr3(1, a);           /*CALL subr3(1, a);*/
            CALL subr4(a, b);           /*CALL subr4(a, b);*/
    END proc1;
