Gardens Point Component Pascal (GPCP)

The Component Pascal Language is an object-oriented approach related to Pascal, Oberon-2 and Oberon, creating files with the CP extension. The Gardens Point Component Pascal (GPCP) is a .NET and .JVM-based implementation of the CP language, which expands the capabilities of the classes in the .NET system.

The Gardens Point Component Pascal (GPCP) provides a compiler that can be used to process CP files and execute them afterwards. To deploy it, certain instructions must be followed closely, all available in the extensive documentation. Esentially, you must configure the CROOT and the PATH to the location of the Gardens Point Component Pascal (GPCP) binary files, and set the location of the module containing the symbol files of the compiler.

Aside from the actual compiler, the package also contains a few extra tools that come in handy to programmers, as follows: first, the CPMake application is designed to perform a consistent compilation of multiple Component Pascal modules; secodly, the PeToCps executable file takes as input a PE file and generates a gpcp symbol file, used for performing the compilation of certain modules separately; last but not least, the Browse application can create a readable representation of a gpcp symbol file.
