An embeddable JIT compiler for C' with hot reload support

Mission

Fill the hole where there's no lightweight, embeddable JIT compiler that compiles code that is nearly source compatible with C and makes interop near plug and play.

TODO

• Rewrite IR
• Switch statements
• Switch expressions
• Windows support (x64 ABI)
• User friendly segfault reporting and handling
• GNU statement expressions
• GNU ternary syntax (x ?: y)
• Suffix pointer syntax (void()* instead of void(*)())
• Zig's defer and GNU __attribute__((cleanup))
• Vectors, matrices, quaternions (also support swizzles)
• Runtime type reflection
• Closures
• Documentation

About C'

C' (pronounced "C prime") is a language that is derived from C (get it) that preserves the language's minimalism and philosophy.

Syntactically and semantically, it's nearly identical to C, but it adds extra features.

Features

• Redefinition of functions and global variables
• hotswap and preserve
• defer and cleanup*
• Single-expression functions
• Anonymous functions (lambdas)
• Closures*
• Templates (type substitution)
• Methods
• Vectors, matrices, quaternions and swizzles*
• Runtime type reflection*
• Switch expressions*
• Suffix pointer syntax*
• extern("name")
• #depends
• __ID__ macro
