The Quick C-- Compiler
``A new perspective on programming-language infrastructure''
This directory contains the source code for Quick C--. If you write a
compiler that emits C--, we'll turn your C-- into efficient machine
code. More information can be found at http://www.cminusminus.org.
To build the compiler from source code, see the install.txt document.
Simple usage for qc
--------------------------
To test the parser just do:
$ ./qc -dump_cmm demos/hello.c--
which should output the internal representation of hello.c-- when
everything went fine.
Problems and Bug Reports
--------------------------------
Once the compiler is built, to make effective use of it, you should
read the release notes in doc/release.ps. The notes describe what
parts of the C-- specification are and are not currently supported.
You can also try `man qc--'. Quick C-- is still under development, so
if there is a feature you need, please ask for it.
If you have trouble building the compiler or using it, send email to
bugs@cminusminus.org. You can view the status of bug reports at
http://www.cminusminus.org/qc--bugs. If either this email or this URL
fails, please send a letter of complaint to nr@eecs.harvard.edu with a
copy to help@eecs.harvard.edu.
