felix's stupid (c) compiler
fsc is an attempt to compile some subset of C. this will probably not work on real world c programs. the main goal is to be able to compile itself
there are a few memory leaks, mostly one time allocations that are never cleaned up. this is somewhat lazyness, and somewhat a design decision as compilers are (hopefully) short lived programs and the memory will be freed up anyway by the operating system
this compiler is not compliant to any c standard, nor will it be. its mostly written with referral to the c99 and c11 specs.
the main goal here is to produce a compiler that can compile itself
there are little to no semantic checks, the compiler mostly assumes that the code given to it is error free. this may change in the future, but first the frontend and the codegen is all i care about.
there are no optimisations, though this is something i want to experiment with
the compiler uses an existing pre-processor via cc -E. this aspect of the
compiler is very hacky! perhaps ill try implement my own pre-processor in the future
but this isn't my interest right now
to build fsc you need:
- C compiler (clang, gcc, ...)
- GNU Make
- collections-c
