Short: Comparison of progr. langs Author: Frank Reibold Uploader: FR-SW@reibold-online.de Type: dev/misc Kurz: Programmiersprachen-Vergleich Programming Languages - A Comparison ------------------------------------ This package consists of the following files: o Progr_Langs.guide - the document describing and comparing the programming languages o exe_timer - the tool used to measure the execution times (must be run in the CLI) o exe_timer.b - the source code in ACE Basic o cbsi - a system information tool (must be run in the CLI) o cbsi.out - a sample output of cbsi o MemDiff - calculates the memory usage of a program o MemDiff.bb2 - the source code in Blitz Basic 2 The documentation consists mainly of a couple of tables showing the execution speeds and the lengths of the executable files created by some programming languages like GNU C++ (egcs) and Blitz Basic 2. You can also find the main features of those programming languages and some hints. News ---- o revised E sources and description o added egcs (GCC 2.8+) description and results o added C++ verification test, sources, and results o new Assembler results, descriptions, and sources o revised some results of test #2 o added a general introduction for each of the programming languages o revised G77 description and results o added UCB Logo and Bywater Basic o added a "Scripting Languages" section which describes Perl etc. o revised Cursor 1.7 results o improved version of »exe_timer« o updated SAS/C description and results to version 6.58 o updated VBCC description and results o added description of Creative E o new version of »cbsi« for Amiga OS 3.5 o updated Storm C description and results to version 3.0 o added Pure Basic description o added BRexx description ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 632 273 56.8% 01-Jan-00 14:07:50 Progr_Langs.info 628 250 60.1% 15-Nov-99 12:33:46 +cpp_verification.info 266 171 35.7% 19-Jan-99 14:06:00 +e.cpp 19 19 0.0% 19-Jan-99 10:15:36 +e.out 187 137 26.7% 19-Jan-99 14:05:46 +s.cpp 18 18 0.0% 19-Jan-99 10:17:40 +s.out 295 170 42.3% 19-Jan-99 14:05:32 +t.cpp 37 37 0.0% 19-Jan-99 10:14:46 +t.out 53473 18664 65.0% 17-Jun-00 15:05:44 +Progr_Langs.guide 503 260 48.3% 15-Nov-99 12:33:48 +Progr_Langs.guide.info 632 278 56.0% 15-Nov-99 12:33:48 +Source.info 1420 596 58.0% 31-Jan-99 17:43:32 +exe_timer.asc 253 172 32.0% 31-Jan-99 17:47:04 +exe_timer.b 1183 562 52.4% 31-Jan-99 17:43:24 +exe_timer.bb2 396 218 44.9% 31-Jan-99 15:43:32 +exe_timer.bb2.info 1242 161 87.0% 31-Jan-99 17:43:24 +exe_timer.bb2.xtra 835 446 46.5% 01-Sep-97 18:19:28 +MemDiff.bb2 396 216 45.4% 01-Sep-97 18:19:54 +MemDiff.bb2.info 1242 160 87.1% 01-Sep-97 18:19:28 +MemDiff.bb2.xtra 632 279 55.8% 15-Nov-99 12:33:48 +Utils.info 44024 19143 56.5% 15-Nov-99 10:48:52 +cbsi 906 469 48.2% 31-Jan-99 18:09:42 +cbsi.out.no-ss 925 484 47.6% 10-Jul-98 14:30:44 +cbsi.out.wb 20840 12008 42.3% 31-Jan-99 17:43:26 +exe_timer 23912 13531 43.4% 25-Jul-97 12:01:20 +MemDiff 383 250 34.7% 01-Sep-97 18:19:50 +MemDiff.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 155279 68972 55.5% 17-Jul-100 20:26:50 26 files
