Lucy Compiler

Description

This is a compiler written in C3.

Key features

• in-file linker options*

• package- or module-like structure

• simple syntax

*for more readability and less guessing. the compiler automatically links with everything specified in the files to remove need to figure out what to link with and manually link it

Code Example

pkg main;

ext void printf(str fmt, var str args);

struct Person
{
    Name name;
    int  age;
}

struct Name
{
    str first_name;
    str last_name;
}

def void main() 
{
    var Person p =
    {
        {
            "Kiana",
            "Bennett"
        },
        22
    };
    printf("Hello, %s!", p.name.first_name);
}

Building and Running

Prerequisites

• C3 compiler installed (available from c3-lang.org)
• libLLVM 20 (available from releases.llvm.org)

Building the Compiler

c3c build -l LLVM

Using the Compiler

./build/lucy compile <file_name.lc>
./<file_name>

# Show help message
./build/lucy --help

you don't have to specify linked libraries like this, it's fully optional but recommended for readability and simplicity. you can remove the link options at the top of the file and run this instead

lucy compile main.lc -lraylib
