twoc

a silly toy to compile python to c

include_lib("stdio.h")

def main() -> int:
    puts("hi")
    return 0

python -m twoc example.c.py

#include <stdio.h>

int
main(void) {
    puts("hi");
    return 0;
}

run flag pipes the output to tcc

python -m twoc -run example.c.py

STDOUT:
hi

tests

x while
x for
x continue
x break

x if
switch

print macro
struct/union, inherit from Struct or Union like ctypes
typedef
enum
cast to type
goto & labels
pointers
arrays
unions

python syntax

in
match
class
with
is

ctypes
i = 42
a = pointer(i)
print(a.contents) deref
addressof(i) or i.addressof
byref
cast(obj, type)

python types

• dict
• list
• set
• interned strings

threec

twoc is simple and ignorant

threec will track contents and scope

play with silly hacky ideas

repl

add dependancy graph server + client

areans

fat arrays

data, cap, len

default argument values

store compiler settings inside the file

link settings saved in file e.g. SDL

silly ideas

wikipedia swizzling

swizzle rgb bgr like Odin?

Member functions

a:int = 0
a.print()

int a = 0;
int__print(&a)

inver variable type on first use

a = 128

int a = 128;
