UCC

A Lightweight Open-Source C Compiler for Research and Education

The original author is Wenjun Wang (Chief Architect of MIUI, Xiaomi Technology).

Overview

1. The directory UCC contains the source code of the lightweight open-source C compiler (C89 standard).

2. If you are interested in how to interpret a simplified C language, please refer to the directory MYC, which includes an interpreter.

How to build and use MYC

iron@CSE:github$ pwd

/home/iron/github

iron@CSE:github$ cd ucc162.3/myc/src

iron@CSE:src$ make

iron@CSE:src$ ./myc test.c

3. The directory ucc/examples/sc contains the code for Chapter 1 in the book (The Dissection of C Compiler.pdf).

How to build and use SC

iron@CSE:sc$ cd ~/github/

iron@CSE:github$ pwd

/home/iron/github

iron@CSE:github$ cd ucc162.3/ucc

iron@CSE:ucc$ . ./ucc.sh 

iron@CSE:ucc$ which ucc

	}

	while(c){
		while(d){
			if(e){
				d = d - 1;
			}
		}
		c = c - 1;
	}
}

./sc < demo.c
f is:  function(int,int,int) which returns pointer to array[4] of int 
fp2 is:  pointer to function(int,int,int) which returns pointer to function(int) which returns int
