picoc
-----
PicoC is a very small C interpreter. It's intended for use as a script
language for embedded systems. It was originally written to be the
script language for a UAV on-board flight system and is very suitable
for other robotic, embedded and also non-embedded applications.
The core C source code is less than 3000 lines of code. When compiled
it only takes a few k of code space and is also very sparing of data
space. This means it can work well in small embedded devices. It's also
a fun example of how to create a very small language implementation
while still keeping the code readable.
Compiling picoc
---------------
picoc can be compiled for a UNIX/Linux/POSIX host by typing "make".
The test suite can be run by typing "make test".
Porting picoc
-------------
platform.h is where you select your platform type and specify the includes
etc. for your platform.
platform_support.c contains support functions so the compiler can work on
your platform, such as how to write characters to the console etc..
platform_library.c contains your library of functions you want to make
available to user programs.
There's also a new clibrary.c which contains user library functions like
printf() which are platform-independent.
Porting the system will involve setting up suitable includes and defines
in platform.h, writing some I/O routines in platform_support.c, putting
whatever user functions you want in platform_library.c and then changing
the main program in picoc.c to whatever you need to do to get programs
into the system.
platform.h is set to UNIX_HOST by default so tests can be easily run on
a UNIX system. You'll need to specify your own host setup dependent on
your target platform.
