rcc: a Rust C compiler

A C compiler written in Rust, with a focus on good error messages. Warning: my first rust project, code quality is pretty low.

Running

cargo run from top level directory. You can also use cargo run -- --debug-lex, cargo run -- --debug-ast, cargo run -- --debug-asm to show a very verbose description of the lexemes/AST/IR respectively.

Use cargo run -- --help for all options.

TODO

• Preprocessor
• Fix boolean expressions
• Multiple translation units (files)
• Bitfields?
• Compile on Windows (see https://github.com/jyn514/rcc/issues/77)
• Compile on non-x86 platforms
• Cross-compile

Testing

cargo test
# optionally, you can fuzz the compiler
# it may be more helpful to just `grep -R unimplemented src`, though
tests/fuzz.sh
