| What do you mean by "specific files"? Files you don't have?
This isn't a trivial exercise, Pascal and C are rather different languages. For a small program you could basically rewrite by looking at the intent. For larger programs it could be very tricky to get right.
Not only do you have the language differences, but the libraries themselves (which the code calls) may need to be converted or provided.
You haven't given much detail, like how big a project (how many lines), which version of Pascal, which version of C++ (eg. Microsoft, g++).
And why do it in the first place? Is this some code that does something that isn't available in C?
Years ago Borland had a write-up in their Borland C manual which described the differences between Pascal and C. Is that what you want, just to know roughly what is involved? |
