I wanted my compiler to be able to compile a hello world. Something which would be trivial in any language, though of course not C. In C the first line of hello world is "#include<stdio.h>". No doubt known to you, that file is a veritable quagmire of incomprehensible C constructions, specific to each operating system. So I spent a few too many nights getting my compiler to get any possible C declaration known to mankind into its symboltables, just so I could get it to the code generator phase and emit all of three or so instructions. I forgot what the change was, and I can't find the commit that fixed it, as it seems active development on the library has resumed.
