I don't think it's accurate to call it "Zig's". This is an independent project started by Veikka Tuominen, a Zig core team member, but it's not owned or managed by ZSF in any way. It's Veikka's project. Don't take that away from him!
- fuzztester 2y agothanks for clarifying. I was wondering why it was under a different github site.
- wyldfire 2y agoIs it intended/desired for Zig to use it in lieu of libclang at some point?
- TUSF 2y agoYes. In fact, Aro is already in the main Zig compiler's repo, although currently I don't think it actually does any compilation of C (unless you explicitly disable LLVM) and is mostly used for Zig's "translate-c" functionality, last I checked.
- ksec 2y agoEven the about section on Github is "A C compiler written in Zig". This goes against the guideline of Editorialise the headline.
- underdeserver 2y agoYep. @dang, per HN guidelines the title should be updated to "A C compiler written in Zig"
