dyad.c

dyad is a lightweight asynchronous server framework in C. Which is pretty neat!

And speaking of cool C things

Here's a package that brings Lisp macro syntax to C. Do want! (Run C::Blocks through that!)

Marpa C parser

Happened to run across a C parser written on Marpa whilst perusing the CPAN today.

Compling C++ to a DLL and calling it from Perl

Detailed instructions. Just in case.

Damien Katz: a Paean to C

Damien Katz sure likes C.  And for reasons I'm OK with.

Parsing C

So I'm taking another stab at writing a quasi-literate-programming tool, which, as I am writing things in C with it, requires a credible C parser to find declarations of stuff.

And while Perl has lots of C parsing tools of varying quantity, including a sample with Parse::Eyapp (which is quite fascinating in its own right), none of them are easily adapted - with the exception of the Inline tools.  Inline::C::ParseRegExp, for example, which does exactly what I want it to - find declarations of stuff.

Python, though, has pycparser.  (And of course, Perl has Inline::Python...)

And then, as always, there is Marpa.  I still have a big fat to-do on my list that says "Learn Marpa".  There's a new set of tutorials on Kegler's blog.  I need to work through those.

Update: I realized I was wrong.  I don't actually need a parser - just a tokenizer for C.  This is because all I need to do is cross-reference all identifiers, and the job is done.

Carbon: compiles to C

This is pretty neat: a really thin OO C extension (libco2) that has a higher-level C-like language defined on top of it (Carbon).  Carbon supports direct object orientation, exceptions, and some other stuff, and compiles to C.

It compiles to C.  Like Decl could compile to Perl.  (Or to C, I guess.)

Why C is better than C++ for low-level infrastructure

This makes sense, actually.  It's a post (in a series of posts) by the author of ZeroMQ.

For those learning C, you could do worse than this convenient page at Stanford.
