cjc - C to Jass2 compiler

[oephun]

cjc is a C to Jass2 compiler. It takes as input a .c source file and a runtime.j file and generates an output a.j file.
cjc is based on Rui Ueyama's chibicc C compiler, but instead of generating x86 assembly, it generates pseudo-instructions that are implemented in Jass2.
cjc is a simple code generator built on top of chibicc.

More information and examples on using cjc can be found in the cjc.zip archive.

I can't run windows executables so to be honest i'm not even sure if this is an aprils fool or not. Last year i nearly missed first of april as well. Are you going to release the source?

I downloaded this file cjc.zip and it was immediately deleted by my Windows computer, which said Virus detected with no question. That's a good April Fool's!

Yes, no one should run untrusted executables downloaded from the web. I would encourage people to virus check the cjc.exe executable using virustotal, for example.

It's LeP's fault really... He taught me about the upx packer (used by pjass), so I used it... (it reduced the executable's size from ~200KiB to ~90KiB). I've update the cjc.zip archive with a non-upx compressed cjc.exe, which again, people should only try to run after checking it with virustotal. And also, at least it's just a single executable file, not 10+ '.dll's and '.jar's :^).

The source code is 95% that of chibicc. The other 5% (my "contribution") is an awful spaghetti-like code for the code generator that generates crappy/inefficient Jass2 stack-machine-like code (as one does when they don't know much about compilers, I suppose).
