Project Description

Clue is an experimental ANSI C compiler that
targets high level dynamic languages like Lua,
JavaScript, Python, and Perl. It is designed to be
very easy to adapt to new targets. It is currently
under development and is more interesting than
useful, although it is complete enough to run
several benchmarking tools (including Whetstone).

0.3

This version supports Javascript, Lua, and Perl backends. C compiled to Lua runs at about one fifth of native speed (using Mike Pall's LuaJIT engine), while when compiled to JavaScript it runs at 1/80th of native speed (using SpiderMonkey). Perl's speed is rather less good. Not all of the C language is covered. Notable omissions are switch and varargs, but enough is there to be interesting.
