c2/README.md

C2

C2 is a programming language based on C. It adds modern high-level features such as metaprogramming, generics, etc, but compiles down to C89.

Building

To build the c2–compiler, simply run make or make all. This will build the compiler and run the tests.

In order to only build the compiler, run make c2. In order to run the tests, run make test.

Versioning

The current version is v0. Its source code lives in the v0 directory.

Testing

Unit Tests

Run unit tests with:

make test

Integration Tests

Integration tests compare the compiler output with expected C files. To add a new integration test, create a new directory under v0/integration_tests/ with input.c2 and expected.c files. Run integration tests with:

make integration-test

Languages Specifications

See the specs directory for information on the actual language syntax.
