1337cc

1337cc is a toy/educational C compiler written in C.
It implements a basic compilation pipeline (lexing → parsing → semantic work → code generation) and produces an output via its internal codegen.

Repo description: 1337 C Compiler

What’s inside

This repository is organized as a set of compiler stages/modules:

• Lexing
  • lexer.c, lex_process.c, token.c
• Parsing / AST
  • parser.c, node.c
• Semantic / symbol work
  • scope.c, symresolver.c, datatype.c, expressionable.c
• Code generation
  • codegen.c, fixup.c
• Core / driver
  • compiler.c, compiler.h, cprocess.c, main.c
• Utilities
  • array.c, helper.c
  • helpers/ (e.g. buffer/vector helpers)
• build/ contains object outputs (used by the Makefile rules)

Build

The project is built with gcc and a simple Makefile that compiles each module into ./build/*.o and then links an executable called main.

make

Output:

• ./main

Rebuild / Clean

make clean
make re

Run

After building:

./main

If your main expects input files/arguments, run ./main --help or check main.c to see the supported CLI (the repo also contains test / test.c that may show usage patterns).

Notes

• This is not a full production C compiler; it’s an educational implementation meant to explore how a compiler is structured.
• The Makefile currently links with -g (debug symbols), which is convenient for stepping through the compilation stages in a debugger.
