CWEB

CWEB

CWEB is a computer programming system created by Donald Knuth and Silvio Levy as a follow up to Knuth's WEB literate programming system, using the C programming language (and to a lesser extent the C++ and Java programming languages) instead of Pascal.

Like WEB, it consists of two primary programs: CTANGLE, which produces compilable C code from the source texts, and CWEAVE, which produces nicely-formatted printable documentation using TeX.

Features

  • Can enter manual TeX codes as well as automatic.
  • Make formatting of C codes for pretty printing.
  • Can define sections, and can contain documentation and codes, which can then be included into other sections.
  • Write the header codes and main C codes in one file, and can reuse the same sections, and then it can be tangled into multiple files for compiling.
  • Include files.
  • Change files, which can be automatically merged into the code when compiling/printing.
  • Produces index of identifiers and section names in the printout.
