LibCC

LibCC is a very simple static library for building compilers and interpreters in the same vain as Jack Crenshaw's Let's Build a Compiler series, but aimed at a more modern C-style approach

Dependencies

This project has next to no dependencies.

• C Compiler
• Make
• C Standard Library

Usage

Most of the usage is covered libcc.h, but the basics are as follows:

• look is the lookahead character
• Use libcc_init to start processing a file
• error, warning, and emit all support printf variadic arguments
• getname, getnumber, and so on all read from the stream
• peekname can be used to take a look at the next identifier in the stream
• match and expected can be used to handle syntax requirements

Examples

The best example I have is included with the library! Simply use make run and a simple C compiler will be built. Look at the source in the test/ directory for more information.
