First GP2C release

[Bill Allombert <allomber@math.u-bordeaux.fr>]

Hello,
I would like to announce the GP2C compiler.

GP2C is a compiler for GP-scripts that output C code to
be linked with libpari or instal'ed in GP.

GP2C is aimed at generating code in the standard of libpari¹.

Currently GP2C is in early developpement stage, and works only with scripts
containing only functions definitions. However you can give it a try
if you are willing to edit the output C code.

You can get GP2C by CVS just by typing
cvs checkout gp2c 
in the CVS pari tree. It needs special tools to build
(automake,autoconf,m4,yacc,lex,perl).

iHowever, you can also get a snapshot at 
ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/GP2C
that do not require them.

You probably want to try the "-g" option that add garbage collecting code.

Cheers,

Bill.
