Overview

Simple C is a subset of the C programming language. That is, all Simple C programs are valid C programs. Simple C uses a recursive descent parser that moves from left-to-right, and performs the leftmost derivation. In other words, the Simple C parser is an LL(k) parser.

The Simple C compiler generates valid assembly code exclusively for 64-bit Intel machines running the Linux operating system.
