=====

c2nim is a tool to translate ANSI C code to Nim. The output is human-readable

Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand after the translation process.

c2nim is no real compiler!

Please see the manual [here](doc/c2nim.rst).

Installing

----------

Run `nimble install c2nim`.

Translating

-----------

c2nim is preliminary meant to translate C header files. Because of this, the

preprocessor is part of the parser. For example:

```C

  #define abc 123

  #define xyz 789

```

Is translated into:

```Nim

  const

    abc* = 123

    xyz* = 789

```

c2nim is meant to translate fragments of C/C++ code and thus does not follow

include files. c2nim cannot parse all of ANSI C/C++ and many constructs cannot

be represented in Nim.
