[Tinycc-devel] A wish for 2018? C->JVM compiler

[Christian Jullien]

Hi all, I don’t how much it could cost nor it’s even feasible, but it would be nice to have a JVM backend. (as other languages already use, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JVM_languages)

This could be a nice student project.

 

Main goal:

-          Have a portable C on top on JVM

 

Second goals

-          Smooth integration with JDK libs

-          Optional GC

-          Optimization done by JIT

 

Non goals:

-          Speed of compiled program

 

Any university there willing to make this port happen?
