kcc
A small C compiler (in progress) This aims to be a full C11 compilant compiler.
Stages:
- Lexer (without preprocessor)
- Parser (supports basic syntax)
- Semantic Analysis
- Code Generation (System V ABI compatible)

What's the purpose of this project?
In brief, to learn optimizing techniques as well as the C11 language. Unfortunately, my time is limited. I might not have time to implement SSA-based optimizations. So now the first goal is to make it C11 compliant.
Why using C++ instead of C?
Because this is an optimizing compiler, which focuses on algorithm rather that the ability of bootstrapping. Another reason is that C++ makes it easier to organize large amount of code, which is crucial, considering this is a one-man project. I don't have much time working on this project so i don't want to waste my time on segfaults.
Which plaform is it targeting?
I am developing using WindowsWSL, but it's targeting linux.
