# C2Compiler - Native version

This is the C2 compiler written in C2 itself.

C2 is an evolution of C, please see http://c2lang.org for more info.

The first version was written in C++ and can be found in the history of

this archive too.

## Installation

see the [installation document](INSTALL.md) for installation on Linux or OSX.

## Bootstrap

Since *c2c* is written in C2, a bootstrap is needed. Please run

```bash

make -C bootstrap

```

This will create a boostrap c2c version and use it to build the c2c compiler.

The output will be in the folder output/

Now you can run the regular compiler to compiler (other) C2 projects

```bash

./output/c2c/c2c

```

### Plugins

The C2 compiler has a _plugin_ system, that allows plugins to be loaded during

compilation and the AST to be modified by them.

*c2c* will look for plugins in the environment variable $C2_PLUGINDIR (set by the

env.sh script). Also the path can be set in the _build-file_. To install the plugins

initially, run *./install_plugins.sh*. This will create ~/c2_plugins/ and copy all

plugins there.

To run *c2c* without plugins, use _--noplugins_.

### Tests

To run the unit tests run

```bash

./output/tester/tester test

```
