Our original plan was to simply work to improve Corrode. We eventually decided to to implement a new tool that uses Clang as the frontend in order to get more reliable parsing, preprocessing, and type checking of the input C code. The result is that we are able to support more code and C extensions than we thought we'd be able to building on top of the good work of the Corrode project.
- phkahler 8y agoIs there any hope of going after even a subset of C++? I know the difference is enormous, I'm just asking the question.
- glguy 8y agoWe've only started pondering what subset of C++ we might be able to support in future work for the project. Currently only C is in scope. That's an obvious next goal but it seems quite a bit more daunting!
