Parole sante! Converrà imparare il #COBOL, ma soprattutto impratichirsi col compilatore e con tutti i suoi test di regressione #GnuCobol, aiutaci tu! (E speriamo che non sia implementato in COBOL 😅)

Now that #gnucobol has released 3.2, we’re updating its source level debugger.

#GnuCOBOL 3.2 Released After 2+ Years In Development
GnuCOBOL trans-compiles #COBOL code to C and has continued keeping up with COBOL standards. With GnuCOBOL 3.2 there is improved dialect handling and "highly improved" run-times for several statements while also reducing memory use. This GnuCOBOL update also brings fileio improvements, improvements for source-level debugging with GDB and Coredump, and improvements to reproducible builds handling.

Lagging on updating the testsuite “borrowed” from #gnucobol to skip tests for features not (yet) implemented. 😢 sick days. Pollen is very heavy right now.

A quick "huh, I should ask ChatGPT some questions about COBOL" ended with me learning some basic GnuCOBOL4.
Well that's enough internet for tonight.
After editing some COBOL in VS Code, it was very surprising that Codeium has experimental support for GnuCOBOL. Is there anything it *doesn't* do?

Second Help-Desk ticket for gcobol this week. Same guy. Great enthusiasm. Working on an explainer for differences between GnuCOBOL and COBOL for GCC in compiling and linking “modules” for proper dynamic loading.

#GCC, #gcobol, #gnucobol

GnuCOBOL continues to be a joy. The OpenLDAP log analysis tool is being converted from Python to COBOL. Fun!

@niconiconi Neat #GNUCOBOL -> #C -> #Emscriptem, it seems to work exactly how I thought it would.

#github #actions in action

sudo apt-get install #gnucobol
compiling...
run...

so cool!!!

Weeks of working on #GnuCOBOL tests as a test suite for COBOL for GCC. Slowly isolating ISO-IEC compliant test without GnuCOBOL’s rich support for dialects so we can narrow initial focus. Grinding stuff.

On a steep learning curve, GNU “autotest”. Thanks to #GnuCOBOL, there is a great base testsuite! Now we need it for COBOL for GCC!

Today I figured that there is #GnuCOBOL.

@rudolf We are convinced. We support #gnucobol but this is headed into gcc 🤞

My #cobol standing query with Google triggered again: COBOL’s Youth Culture! Good article with good support for @microfocus. No mention of #GnuCOBOL, the Open Source option. Otherwise good.

New to @fosstodon.org was @camelian@mastodon.social this is a better home. Involved in #openldap, #gnucobol (support provider, team contributes - #symascorp.

For the second time, I tried to use #gnucobol and it wouldn't compile.... Back to c++ ...
