Hi!
I use Python, and writing some extension modules I think which could
be written an
C compiler, useful only to compile extension modules (I not think an
GCC!!!!), so that the user not have to use GCC, Microsoft Visual C++,
or other.
It must have an common API to all platforms, even if obviously the
implementation is various.
Could be write in 100% Python pure.
It is a bad idea? 7 2078

Hi,
I like the idea very much. A C compiler
written in python. Someone already started
this. There was a post in this newsgroup,
maybe one month ago.

The link to this compiler is here: http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~varmaa/mini_c/
Another good idea would be to write an improved C preprocessor that
* is more consistent with the C language. For example,
macro SQUARE(x) = x * x;
would be equivalent to
#define SQUARE(x) ((x) * (x))
* in addition to MACRO and MACRO(args), allows forms as complex as:
macro NEW T[arraysize] = calloc(arraysiz e, sizeof(T));
macro NEW T(...) = T ## _new(...);
macro ALLOCATOR typename(...) {init} =
T* T##_new(...) {
T* self = malloc(sizeof(T ));
init;
return self;
}
;
which would allow you to write code like
ALLOCATOR String(char *s) {
self->length = strlen(self);
self->data = NEW char[self->length + 1];
strcpy(self->data, s);
}
int foo() {
s = NEW String("Hello, world!");
// ...
}
* Has "typeof" as part of the preprocessor, so that code like
macro DESTRUCTOR T {cleanup} =
void T##_delete(T* self) {
cleanup;
free(self);
}
;
macro DELETE p = typeof(p)##_del ete(p);
will work. da*****@yahoo.c om (Dan Bishop) wrote in message news:<ad******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>...

I have seen http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~varmaa/mini_c/ and I must
say that is good, even if I thought to a compiler written without
other modules instead of standard library's, already useful.
For me, the idea of an improvements of C preprocessor has the
disadvantage of having to learn additional syntax, when instead can be
a compiler in the standard library.

What's the point? What's wrong with GCC? It's fast, comprehensive, and
supported on all major platforms. Unless it solves a specific task, like
Pysco or SWIG, it's purpose will be merely academic.

The idea was that one to create a Python platform, without to use
large compilers (I refer above all to MSVC++!!!!!!!), but a compiler
part of the standard library to quickly compile a module. wi*******@yahoo .it wrote: The idea was that one to create a Python platform, without to use large compilers (I refer above all to MSVC++!!!!!!!), but a compiler part of the standard library to quickly compile a module.
But if it was capable of compiling any C extension module, it would have
to be a full-fledged (large!) C compiler.

Not if it eschews most/all optimizations, obscure GCC/MSVC extensions,
full-blown assembler/linker, etc. It's quite possible to make a small C
compiler (tinycc ( http://www.tinycc.org/) comes to mind...). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I see the value of a class when two or more instances will be created,
but Python programmers regularly use a class when there will only be one
instance.
What is the benefit of this? It has a disadvantage of a whole lot of
"self."
being required everywhere, making the code less readable. Also, since a
strength of Python is rapid application development, it slows one down
to have to put in all those self.'s. The code seems much cleaner...

This idea might be vey crazy. But I hope to get answers to this .. from
comp.lang.c
If a compiler is designed such that it automatically adds a free()
matching every malloc()
then is it not a garbage collection (in the first place , garbage will
not be generated !! ) . Is it
possible to have a compiler with such feature. Or if Its not a good
idea (or may be this is an idiotic idea) please tell me why is it so ??
