Classical compilers

The following list gives a summary of some compilers that exist in the open source land.

• LLVM

  A relatively new and popular compiler. LLVM stands for low level virtual machine, a compiler written in C++. This is a big inspiration place for ppci! http://llvm.org

• GCC

  The gnu compiler. The famous open source compiler. https://gcc.gnu.org/

Other compilers

• ACK

  The amsterdam compiler kit. http://tack.sourceforge.net/

• lcc

  A retargetable C compiler. https://github.com/drh/lcc

• sdcc

  The small device c compiler. http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/

• 8cc

  A small C compiler in C99. https://github.com/rui314/8cc

Other compilers written in python

• zxbasic

  Is a freebasic compiler written in python. http://www.boriel.com/wiki/en/index.php/ZXBasic
