AMaCC is a small, from-scratch C compiler targeting 32-bit Arm (armv7hf) that can execute code via a JIT compiler or generate ELF executables for GNU/Linux. It supports a C89 subset sufficient for self-hosting and is designed as a pedagogical tool for learning compilers, linkers, and loaders.
Use cases
- learn how compilers, linkers, and loaders work
- compile a subset of C on a Raspberry Pi
- study JIT compiler implementation for Arm
- generate ELF executables from C source
- explore self-hosting compiler design
- teach compiler construction with a minimal codebase
When to choose
- you want a tiny, readable compiler codebase for education
- you target 32-bit Arm Linux on Raspberry Pi
- you need a self-hosting C compiler example with JIT and ELF modes
When to avoid
- you need full C89/C99 compliance or production-grade optimization
- you target x86, 64-bit Arm, or non-Linux platforms
- you need struct assignment, typedef, or type qualifiers
