Cobol parser integrates official word lists
Cobol parser now includes official word lists for reserved words, intrinsic functions, and CDF files.
The GCC COBOL parser has been updated to incorporate official word lists for reserved keywords, intrinsic functions, and Common Data Format (CDF) files. This enhancement improves the parser’s accuracy and compliance with COBOL standards.
In Details
Official COBOL word lists, including reserved words, intrinsic functions, and CDF file formats, have been integrated into the GCC COBOL parser. This involves adding new header files (words/cdf.h, words/intrinsic.h, words/reserved.h) to the lexer and parser stages.
