c2go is a command-line transpiler that converts C source code into Go source code using the clang AST. It aims to be a repeatable, predictable conversion tool, with the long-term goal of transpiling SQLite3 unmodified.

Use cases

• convert a C program to Go
• transpile legacy C codebase to Go
• port C library to Go automatically
• migrate C source files to idiomatic Go projects
• translate C code without rewriting it by hand

When to choose

• you want to migrate existing C code to Go with minimal manual rewriting
• you need a repeatable, scriptable C-to-Go conversion pipeline
• your C code is relatively simple and standard-library based

When to avoid

• you need fully idiomatic Go output without cleanup
• your C code relies heavily on complex macros, platform-specific features, or advanced pointer tricks
• you need guaranteed correctness for safety-critical code without manual review
