# Aro
|
|
|
|
A C compiler with the goal of providing fast compilation and low memory usage with good diagnostics.
|
|
|
|
Aro is included as an alternative C frontend in the [Zig compiler](https://github.com/ziglang/zig)
|
|
for `translate-c` and eventually compiling C files by translating them to Zig first.
|
|
Aro is developed in https://github.com/Vexu/arocc and the Zig dependency is
|
|
updated from there when needed.
|
|
|
|
Currently most of standard C is supported up to C23 and as are many of the common
|
|
extensions from GNU, MSVC, and Clang
|
|
|
|
Basic code generation is supported for x86-64 linux and can produce a valid hello world:
|
|
```sh-session
|
|
$ cat hello.c
|
|
extern int printf(const char *restrict fmt, ...);
|
|
int main(void) {
|
|
printf("Hello, world!\n");
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
$ zig build run -- hello.c -o hello
|
|
$ ./hello
|
|
Hello, world!
|
|
$
|
|
```
