Works for me in qemu, but remember to provide an SD card image as mentioned in the README before you run "make tools/sd.img" - e.g. The one in the releases https://github.com/r1mikey/research-unix-v7/releases/download/v7-unix-pi1-20200212/v7-unix-pi1-20200212.img.xz Otherwise, qemu will start up complaining about a large number of invalid memory accesses. Unfortunately, there is no port of pcc (the portable C... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

Yes, C can be simple for writing a compiler. [0][1] No, optimisation, on the other hand, is not a simple problem. [0] https://github.com/rui314/8cc [1] https://github.com/rui314/chibicc. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

Implement a compiler for a subset of C. This doesn't need to be self-hosting, but bonus points if it is. Here's an example of what it can look like: https://github.com/rui314/8cc. Source: almost 4 years ago

While this is an impressive work, I feel that there are a lot of "tiny" C compilers out there; how is yours any different than SmallerC, TinyC, 8cc, chibicc and many others? Source: about 4 years ago

Great question. Here are some candidates: * https://github.com/rswier/c4 * https://github.com/Fedjmike/mini-c * https://github.com/rui314/8cc * https://github.com/rui314/chibicc * https://github.com/aligrudi/neatcc Some of them are actually interpreters, and I personally would be interested in actual compilers that generate machine code. - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago
