This is an example program showing the power of Aikido
for prototyping.  The example is a full C parser.  It
is supposed to handle the whole C language with some
C99 extensions.

There are probably some bugs in it but is only
an example.

The one part of it that is missing the the C
preprocessor.  It uses the command 'gcc -E' to
run the preprocessor.  This means that you
will need a C compiler on your system in order
to use it.

The program makes extensive use of packages
and block extension.

The files are:

clex.aikido             - modified lex.aikido for C
cparse.aikido           - main program
depend.aikido           - dependency checker
expr.aikido             - expression handler
stmt.aikido             - statement handler
types.aikido            - type system handler
test.c                  - little test program


It is written using a recursive descent algorithm.
The output is a list of all the global variables
defined in the program.  If the variable is a
function then the function's dependencies are
printed along with the contents of the function
body.

I would not suggest that anyone use an interpreted
language like Aikido to write a real C compiler as
it is much too slow.  But by examining to code it
is easy to see how this code could be converted
to C++ or Java to make it into a real program.
This is the power of prototyping...
