c2nim is a tool to translate Ansi C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process. c2nim is no real compiler!

c2nim is preliminary meant to translate C header files. Because of this, the preprocessor is part of the parser. For example:

  #define abc 123
  #define xyz 789

Is translated into:

  const
    abc* = 123
    xyz* = 789

c2nim is meant to translate fragments of C code and thus does not follow include files. c2nim cannot parse all of Ansi C and many constructs cannot be represented in Nim: for example duff's device cannot be translated to Nim.
