Readable C

C+ is a language that compiles directly to C. It maintains C's power while making it easier to understand and read. With one-to-one line translation, experienced C developers can translate their code into C+ with ease. The compiler, written in Python, has helpful and descriptive error messages to help the average developer. C+ is designed to get new people into C without the headaches, but with the power. Let's see what you can make!

Example Syntax:

C+ Example of Hello World:

import stdio

fn main() {
    let hello: string = "Hello"
    let name: string = "Bob"

    print(hello + ", " + name + "!")
}

C Example of Hello World:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {
    char hello[] = "Hello";
    char name[] = "Bob";

    printf("%s, %s!\n", hello, name);
}

Features:

• Compiled Directly to C
• Has one-to-one translation with C
• Does not require semicolons
• Pointers declared with "let*"
• Use "let [varname]: [var type]" instead of "int" or "char"
• Uses the GCC Compiler to compile the C
• If/Else statements do not require parentheses
• Void functions declared with "fn"
• Functions that return have a "-> [var type]" after the arguments
• Use "import [libray name]"
• Supports unsigned, long, short, or long long variables with the following syntax "let x: int; [unsigned]; [long, short, long long]"
• Uses "print" instead of "printf"

Setup:

You can set up the compiler by navigating to setup.exe and running it. Make sure you run it as an admin on Windows. Then you can run the compiler by:

cpx [filename].cpx [Flags: -r -d -c -v]

NOTE: The subdir /setup is the decompiled source code for setup.exe

NOTE: If you are on MacOS/Linux, you must compile it for your host system with the cargo command.
