picoc is a very small C interpreter that can execute C code without compilation, suitable for embedding as a scripting engine. The GitHub repository has moved to GitLab.

Use cases

  • run C code as a script without a compiler
  • embed a C scripting engine in an application
  • execute C snippets on embedded or resource-constrained systems
  • use C as a configuration or extension language

When to choose

  • you need a tiny embeddable C interpreter
  • you want to script in C syntax without a toolchain

When to avoid

  • you need a full standards-compliant C compiler
  • you need actively maintained software with a clear license
