Open Source C to Arm using C#
Working on a project with a buddy of mine. We are trying to write a C compiler that handles custom op codes and one or two other things for a bigger project.
To be totally honest, this is not my world. I am more comfortable higher up the abstraction tree, so I don't have all the details, but here is my best understanding of the problem.
Because of how clang handles strings (storing them in separate memory addresses), we can't use the general C compiler, as it would cause major slowdowns down the line by orders of magnitude.
Our solution was to write our own C# compiler, but we are running into so many edge cases, and we worry we are going to forget about something. We would rather take an existing compiler and modify it. We figure we will get better performance and will be less likely to forget something. Is there a C to ARM compiler written in C# that already exists? The project is in C#, and it's a language we both know. Also is there a better place to put this? i am planning on cross posting this on r/compilers.
