C2Compiler - Native version
This is the C2 compiler written in C2 itself.
C2 is an evolution of C, please see http://c2lang.org for more info.
The first version was written in C++ and can be found in the history of this archive too.
Installation
see the installation document for installation on Linux or OSX.
Bootstrap
Since c2c is written in C2, a bootstrap is needed. Please run
make -C bootstrap
This will create a boostrap c2c version and use it to build the c2c compiler. The output will be in the folder output/
Now you can run the regular compiler to compiler (other) C2 projects
./output/c2c/c2c
Plugins
The C2 compiler has a plugin system, that allows plugins to be loaded during compilation and the AST to be modified by them.
c2c will look for plugins in the environment variable $C2_PLUGINDIR (set by the env.sh script). Also the path can be set in the build-file. To install the plugins initially, run ./install_plugins.sh. This will create ~/c2_plugins/ and copy all plugins there.
To run c2c without plugins, use --noplugins.
Tests
To run the unit tests run
./output/tester/tester test
