A C Compiler in OCaml.

This project is part of my sabbatical.

Objectives

The idea is to be able to compile simple programs and have them run on ARM64 macOS. No other platform is to be supported. In time expand the set of programs that it compiles, focusing on completeness with the C11 standard, not speed.

How far along is it?

It's able to parse some programs in C. Extensibility is pretty easy with the current setup with ocamllex and ocamlyacc so extending the range of programs is not complicated.

Code generation is in early stages.
