gcobol update
The joys of hard problems. #cobol for #gcc trudges along. Declaratives (error handling) checked in. File-IO moving along. #cobolworx
Nice. Jacket found in a thrift shop, original tag on. Paid $15.
Pollen on a rain puddle. Allergy season.
Quick COBOL for GCC related update. We’ve moved past NIST’s Nucleus tests into I/O and other modules. Another report sent to the GCC list last week. Solid progress. Also RC2 for GnuCOBOL 3.2! :-D

Weeks of working on #GnuCOBOL tests as a test suite for COBOL for GCC. Slowly isolating ISO-IEC compliant test without GnuCOBOL’s rich support for dialects so we can narrow initial focus. Grinding stuff.

Dark out … summer-like thunderstorm rolling through. A fit background for wandering around in COBOL testsuites.

A spasm of work in the garage. So much to put away after the New Years Eve party we neede “room”. So, reorganizing space and chucking what should have been discarded years ago made big space.
Felt good. And I’m tired.🥱
Three days of autotest test suites. Brain-fry. Mixed in, a “sacred text” Discussion about the number of angels on the head of a pin. #gcobol will be the better for all of it.

More fun with irrigation on sub-freezing mornings. The city’s irrigation of a roadside planting. Fernandina Beach, Florida.
People left their irrigation systems running so they came on overnight in this morning. We are still in the 20s. Much frozen grass, many ice stuff driveways, and black ice puddles on a few of the roads. Most amuzing!
On our way into the 20s(F) again four many hours tonight. The frost in the pictur above never fully defrosted today. EPOCHal!
Fernandina Beach, northeast corner of Florida at 9:00 this morning.
On a steep learning curve, GNU “autotest”. Thanks to #GnuCOBOL, there is a great base testsuite! Now we need it for COBOL for GCC!

It is always sad to see desire for recognition pushing good technical judgement aside.
Sad that Twitter chooses to “smokestack” itself. The days of “One Platform To Rule Them All” are over. Not feeling bad about the inevitable. I was never exclusively on any platform.
COBOLfor GCC current development snapshot Ubuntu/Debian (Ubuntu 22+) package available cobolworx.com/pages/cob… for anyone wanting to play.
Please let us know about problems, successes, etc. Packages are updated frequently.

Today’s crop. Meyer lemons.
Trandport to the farmers market for someone local. Better pictures. Iguess I like this one.
