Hello Thiago !

I also think that this project https://github.com/melt-umn/ableC can of your interest:

Their description:

Hello Thiago !

Maybe this project https://github.com/graphitemaster/gmqcc can be of your interest to use as backend on the playground.

Cheers !

Apologies if this is a wrong place for this e-mail.

I am creating a c23 front end called cake https://github.com/thradams/cake  and TCC is an inspiration for me mainly because it is a complete compiler.

I can try to help TCC with some C23 features but I am also interested in to learn about backends (I have no experience in this field).

Maybe someone from this list also may be interested in creating new backends or helping me to find references to implement a backend for cake. I wish cake could generate an executable like TCC does. I have considered web assembly for the backend as well. also QBE for QBE does not generate executables directly.

I have little experience with TCC I don’t know for instance how many warnings/erros it have or how prepared it is for C 23.

 cake is progressing to full analysis semantics and I believe It already have the infrastructure to implement good warnings. 

My interest in on compilers but also in promoting/modernising and using the C language.

Thanks 

Thiago
