# $Id$ PortSystem 1.0 name cyclone version 20070323 categories lang devel platforms darwin maintainers mww description safe programming language based on C long_description \ Cyclone is a programming language based on C that is safe, meaning that it \ rules out programs that have buffer overflows, dangling pointers, format \ string attacks, and so on. High-level, type-safe languages, such as Java, \ Scheme, or ML also provide safety, but they don't give the same control over \ data representations and memory management that C does (witness the fact that \ the run-time systems for these languages are usually written in C.) \ Furthermore, porting legacy C code to these languages or interfacing with \ legacy C libraries is a difficult and error-prone process. The goal of Cyclone \ is to give programmers the same low-level control and performance of C without \ sacrificing safety, and to make it easy to port or interface with legacy C code. homepage http://cyclone.thelanguage.org/ #master_sites http://cyclone.thelanguage.org/files/ #checksums sha1 3079dd7ed5df50525f432a1e5d7717a541a29074 fetch.type cvs cvs.root :pserver:anonymous@cvs.eecs.harvard.edu:/home/cyclone/cvsroot cvs.module cyclone cvs.date ${version} worksrcdir ${name} configure.pre_args configure.args -bindir ${prefix}/bin -libdir ${prefix}/lib/cyclone -includedir ${prefix}/include/cyclone destroot.destdir \ INC_INSTALL=${destroot}${prefix}/include/cyclone \ BIN_INSTALL=${destroot}${prefix}/bin \ LIB_INSTALL=${destroot}${prefix}/lib/cyclone livecheck.check moddate
