cprime v2

C' (C Prime) is a front end compiler with preprocessor written in C with no external dependencies.

I am using it for:

• Create a transpiler, extending the C language with new features and generating C code.

  See it online http://thradams.com/web2/cprime.html

It also can be used for:

• Static analisys
• Refactoring tool
• Other language parsing (doc generation etc)
• Formatter
• Add a backend? (webassembly for instance?)
• Reflection

Using the front end

See LibSamples.

• printenum.c - This program searches for an enum by name and generates a function to convert from enum to string.
• printtest.c - This program searches for function names that have Test in their name and generates a function that calls. This could be useful to create unit test.

The AST of prime is not so abstract. This is because I keep each space, comment and original formating and information and this requires a syntax tree less abstract that represents almost directly each part of the grammar.

cprime extensions

See http://thradams.com/clang.htm

See it online http://thradams.com/web2/cprime.html

The file cprime.c is the command line program for the compiler.

This repository can be used to send sugestions for the cprime extensions.

See use the command line compiler.

Syntax: cprime [options] [file ...]

Examples: cprime hello.c
          cprime -config config.h hello.c
          cprime -config config.h hello.c -o hello.c
          cprime -config config.h -P hello.c
          cprime -E hello.c
          cprime -P hello.c
          cprime -A hello.c

struct PrintCodeOptions:
-config FILE                          Configuration file.
-outDir                               Set the directory for output.
-help                                 Print this message.
-o FILE                               Sets ouput file name.
-E                                    Preprocess to console.
-P                                    Preprocess to file.
-cx                                   Generate C'.
-ca                                   Generated C annotated
-removeComments                       Remove comments from output
                                      -outDir can define build output

Road Map

• Improve samples and they can be used as documentation.
