NQCC - a not-quite-C compiler

This repo is no longer active. I'm working on a new version of NQCC - I'll link to it here once it's released!

A compiler for a tiny (but growing!) subset of C, written in OCaml.

Requirements

• Install OCaml and OPAM
• Configure OPAM

opam init

• Install dependencies:

opam install oasis
opam install batteries
opam install ounit # only needed for tests

Usage

• Build it

make

• To run it, invoke the nqcc script in the project root

./nqcc /path/to/source.c

The compiled executable will be in the same directory as the source file, and have the same name (e.g. source in the example above).

Tests

ocaml setup.ml -configure --enable-tests # you only need to run this once
make test # run unit tests
./test_examples.sh # compile sample programs

You can also test against this test suite.
