Does the SKEY IDE have a documented compiler interface?

I noted that the SX/B compiler fits into a folder of the SKEY ide called compilers - and I wondered if there was a documented (or semi-documented) interface to allow other compilers to be integrated to the IDE?

    David,

    Unfortunately, no. I tried (along with some Parallax employees) to create a defined compiler interface, but the project got shutdown. The interface to SX/B could be expanded to be generic, but there are currently no plans to do so. Are you asking because you have a specific compiler you wanted to port to the IDE, or is this just idle curiosity?

    Thanks,

    I don't have a specific compiler yet; but there are a number of quality compilers out there with source available - bolting a SX code generator on could be an interesting project [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Hey Guys,

    Just so everyone knows.

    David has more than just an idle curiosity when it comes to compilers. Think Turbo Pascal, Modula, TopSpeed C, and finally Clarion and you will find David. I believe he is the Chief Architect of the OOP code in the Clarion Compiler.

    See here:

    www.clacom.com/clarion

    and here:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarion_(programming_language)

    for more information about the Compilers David has been involved with.

    He brings a wealth of experience to SX code generation.

    Kenny
