The Pigeon Potato Compiler to replace GCC (yeah, I know all aspects are crazy but it's kinda for fun, kinda ego-driven)

Uh, how deformed-stork-y is that?

About

This compiler is in alpha stage, and is going to be able to compile C, C++, D, etc. Here's the direct order of what I want to do those in:

1. C
2. C++
3. D
4. C#
5. Ada

Building

This should work on Linux.

git clone https://github.com/Platypus-Tech/ppc.git
cd ppc
make

You can use gcc, cc, or clang, but that's messed up. Actually, the Makefile uses CC to compile ppc.c. Ah, fudge it.

Usage

If you put ppc in /usr/bin, you would do this:

you@some-linux-distro:~$ ppc <file-to-compile>

If you don't, and it's in your current directory, do this:

you@some-linux-distro:~$ ./ppc <file-to-compile>

Of course, I can't compile anything yet. You can, though, get help (I think):

you@some-linux-distro:~$ ppc help

That's if it's in usr/bin, but you know how to do it if it's not (if it snot!).

Are there any Easter Eggs?

Of course there are! Try ppc astro-zombies... hint-hint, Astro-Zombies lyrics...
