  • OBNC Interfacing with C library

    Hi. I found it currently very hard to interfacing with C library on OBNC. Yes, I know we could do our implementation in C but I said about interfacing with already written library, e.g: the C standard library. Could we follow GNU Modula-2, we define a .
    def file like them and just use the function directly from the lib without going the route above?

    It seemed OBNC's .def file is served a very different purpose than GNU Modula-2.

    OBNC has been designed not to require any incompatible extensions to the
    Oberon language as defined in the report. What functions do you want to interface to?

    Yes, ".def" files are created by the obncdoc command and contains module interface documentation.
