C compiler with support for structs written in Assembly
I started working on a similar VM-based bootstrap for getting from bare metal to C compiler. If anyone is interested in collaborating let me know.<p>The idea is that you implement a simple, ASCII-based VM for your platform and that's enough to bootstrap a number of different assemblers, to a basic C compiler, to a full-fledged C compiler and (very minimal) POSIX environment.<p>The goal is twofold: a base for trusted compilation like this one, and a way to guarantee long-term executability of various archiving programs (ie: guarantee that you can unrar a file in 20 years with minimal work).<p>EDIT: very rough repo is here - <a href="https://github.com/mmastrac/bootstrap" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mmastrac/bootstrap</a>
