Marvin Humphrey updated LUCY-71:
--------------------------------
Attachment: charm_and_harm_to_c_and_h.diff
With commit r882993, I svn moved all .charm/.harm files to .c/.h and patched
the metaquote utility and Build.pm to handle the new filenames.
This gets us past stage one of this issue.
> Remove Perl dependency of METAQUOTE
> -----------------------------------

> Key: LUCY-71

> Project: Lucy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Charmonizer

> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h

> Charmonizer currently uses a Perl script 'METAQUOTE' to preprocess its
> '.charm' files into '.c' files and '.harm' files into '.h' files. This
> works, but requires a dependency on Perl that seems inappropriate for a C
> language tool.
> The suggested alternatives were to use manual quoting or standard macros.
> Manual quoting seemed error prone and cumbersome, so this patch proposes the
> using the 'stringify' (#expr) function within standard C preprocessor macros.
