EBNF

Can Unleashed Pascal be described using EBNF?
If the answer is yes, then there are a few things that need to be expanded upon.

See:

• Freepascal
• fcl-ebnf
• Pascalscript

InstantFPC should also work with Unleashed Pascal or you have to build 'InstantUnleash'.

[fibodevy]

InstantFPC works as-is, no separate build needed. It just runs the fpc it finds, so all you have to do is put the instantfpc[.exe] binary on your PATH next to the Unleashed fpc. Scripts then get the full language, {$mode unleashed} included.

[fibodevy]

Yes. The situation is the same as with FPC itself: there is no maintained grammar file, the grammar lives in the hand-written parser, but the syntax is regular EBNF material. Every Unleashed construct is an additive production on top of the standard FPC grammar, so whatever works for describing FPC works here too, plus the new productions. The per-feature docs in unleashed/docs/ list every construct with all its forms if someone wants to write them down.

I hope, it will work.

There are much work for your pascal dialect.

[fibodevy]

I don't think so 😃 Keep in mind both FPC and especially Unleashed Pascal are hobby projects, not professional tools (as you called it somewhere else). Professional means making money. Professional is a paid product, or at least paid support.

[stvowi]

That's okay. I want make some hobby projects for me with unleashed pascal.
I'm very interested in AI coding with local models.

The most open source projects with one maintainer ary hobby projects. I have no problem with this fact.
