I completely agree that gpre needs to become g-gone.

Re: [Firebird-devel] hello world example of gpre requested
<> I have some cobol samples - on paper. I have used gpre fairly extensively over the years, but you are right in terms of deprecation, it doesn't support new features and its very long in the tooth. Adding cobol support to Firebird by doing a build isn't complicated, a simple ./configure –with-gpre-cobol make Should do the trick.

I think after the gpre line there is only one or two lines of gcc compiler commands to make it work. c would probably be the easiest because when you run gpre with cobol it is a little bit of work to get the output formatted the right way for instance to feed it to cobc for gnucobol.

What about C - you can find some samples in examples/stat of firebird distro (not absolutely sure for windows binaries, if it's missing there - please use src tarbal, linux binaries or github directly). With Cobol things are worse. I do not know any sample, what is worse - noone of FB developers ever used to write a single line using that language.
