I actually have this code compiling and running from a few months back with some minor compiler corrections; but was hesitant to release to github because of the copyright. It was very difficult to come across.
I asked several people at Bell/Nokia if it would be okay to release and they weren't sure if anyone cared (but couldn't guarantee anything legally) ... Looks like they took the liberty themselves...
I'll try to find time to do a PR or fork of this copy with my corrections and writeup for instructions. Imagine it's best I just fork as can't fathom Nokia is going to approve PRs.
- mustache_kimono 5y agoCurious: What kind of performance is gained by this over just using awk?
- gompertz 5y agoProbably extremely minimal if any; especially with all the advances in Mawk/Gawk since 1988. The only immediate advantage being you can essentially turn your Awk into a compiled exe with Awkcc. However it's important to note that this is so old it only works with the original Bell Labs Awk. Previously compiling directly from Awk to an executable was only possible with Tawk (commercial version of Awk by Thompson Automation... And long defunct).
