OBNC – Oberon-07 Compiler


s a compiler for Niklaus Wirth’s programming language Oberon. It implements the final version of the language from 2016.

It also contains a (non-standard) library called ext which extends the basic library with modules for accessing command line arguments and environment variables, printing to the standard error stream, converting numbers to strings and vice versa, and for customizing the trap handler. For MS Windows users there is also a pre-compiled version of OBNC with all dependencies included (GC, SDL, Gawk and TCC): To make editing of Oberon source files more pleasant I have created a language mode for the text editor Gedit which provides syntax highlighting, and also a plugin which automatically converts reserved and predefined words from lowercase to uppercase as you type them.
