# cljcc
A toy C Compiler implementation in Clojure.
Follows the book [Writing a C Compiler by Nora Sandler](https://nostarch.com/writing-c-compiler).
Post about my experience implementing the book [writing-a-c-compiler-in-clojure](https://shagunagrawal.me/posts/writing-a-c-compiler-in-clojure/).
## Prerequisites
* [Clojure](https://clojure.org)
* [GraalVM](https://www.graalvm.org) for building native binary
* [babashka](https://github.com/babashka/babashka#installation)
Only Linux and Mac OS is supported. For Windows, run through WSL.
## Tasks
To see all available tasks in the project, run `bb tasks`:
``` sh
bb tasks
The following tasks are available:
clean Removes target folder.
nrepl Starts a nrepl session.
storm Starts a nrepl session with storm debugger.
cli:run:main Run's main CLI function.
cli:build:jar Builds uberjar for CLI.
cli:run:jar Runs CLI jar.
cli:build:native Builds native image for CLI.
```
## Build
To build native image, run:
``` sh
bb cli:build:native
```
This produces a binary `cljcc-cli` at `/target/cli`. Pass the path to the C file.
``` sh
./target/cli/cljcc-cli "path/to/file.c"
```
## Run Jar
``` sh
bb cli:run:jar
```
## References
