Then you don't want to use any of the many C libraries, out there? Like
lex, yacc, regexp, zip, SVN...
We can already statically link to C code, so what exactly is the point?
True, header converting is pain, but a blessing compared with the amount of
work to maintain a fullblown C compiler.
What extra work do you mean?
A compiler front-end translates the source code into an internal format,
from which the back-end generates the executable code.
Moreover it would be a feeble shade of a compiler to compile a handful of
libs only, and you get tons of maintenance work in return. All the C parsing
and implementation oddities, GCC compatibility issues, tools preparation
( autoconf etc), libraries etc.
The ToPas C preprocessor and parser has been tested for MSVC and gcc
compatibility. Configure is a problem on Windows; I used to configure C
libraries on linux, then compiled the result on Windows. No further
problems encountered so far.
