Hi,
anyone out there using Benchmark Modula-2 and the optional C library ?
I've been trying to compile some of the examples that are supplied
with the compiler and some fail.
A couple of them were fixed when I made available the optional
Simplified library modules.
However a number of the demo programs are using a routine STRCPY
which I suspect comes from the optional C library (which I didn't
buy).
I was wondering whether anyone out there could tell me what the
routine does. It has two parameters source and destination addresses
of strings. I figure one string is modula-2 format the other c format
and the copy process "converts" from one to the other. I presume
the internal formats used by the two languages could be different.
Regards
Mike

strcpy() copies a string from the source character array to the destination character array. You should be able to write it easily. Just be careful of the string lengths. - Win | |||||

Thanks Win,
I figured it would be something like that. I modified one of the
example programs tonight (seemingly successfully). But I fudged
the particular piece of code to use ARRAY OF CHAR parameters rather
than addresses which are the actual parameters expected by the real
STRCPY routine.
I believe with Modula-2 there is a standard end-of-string character
you can look for when processing the string. I'll check my Modula-2
docs.
thanks again
Mike
