A small C compiler. scc implements a subset of C11, small enough to compile with a pretty small codebase but large enough for this compiler to compile itself.

Compile with make scc, which uses gcc to produce a stage 0 compiler. Use make bootstrap to do a three-stage bootstrap and produce a stage 3 compiler. make test runs tests with the stage 0 compiler, make bootstrap-test runs them with the stage 3 compiler. You'll want to run a poetry install once in order to install Python testing dependencies (i.e. llvm's lit and filecheck).

Note that this compiler does not bootstrap diag.c, diag.c exists only for pretty diagnostics and does not affect the behavior of the compiler. It uses stdarg.h, which scc does not implement, so scc does not compile it as part of the bootstrap. You can replace it with an implementation that doesn't use stdarg.h, but you get bad error messages and the compiletests fail (due to the error messages changing), so I opted to leave it.

scc's codegen is bad and not performant, making it not bad is out of scope for this project.
