  1. …another. The idea is to make shell.c compile from an even simpler C compiler, such as M2-Planet: https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet Let me remind you that current stage0 bootstraps tinyc from mes, which is an interpreted lisp. It's not…

  2. but parsing command line arguments is a solved problem https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet/blob/master/cc.c#L40

  3. …things about compilers is that they have gentle ramps for learning. If you start simple enough, https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet the rest just becomes just add one more thing... It even works if you start from zero:…

  4. Yes, read this https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet and you will know how a cross platform self-hosting C compiler works in 1,982 lines of code and if you want to know how an assembler works read this:…

  5. The C version is alot easier to read: https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet

  6. …(called "mes") can be built with the M2 Planet transpiler: https://gitlab.com/janneke/mes/ https://github.com/oriansj/m2-planet

  7. Actually you missed a bunch. MesC is soon going to be bootstrapped by M2-Planet https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet Which is in the process of becoming bootstrapped via stage0 https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/stage0/ Which bootstraps…

  8. Posts like this make me think of this: https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet A C compiler with support for inline assembly, gotos, structs and weighs under 2000lines and is self hosting.

  9. …it was to do the FORTH. Although right now they are trying to improve their C Compiler prototype https://github.com/oriansj/M2-Planet before they convert it to assembly
