If this wasn’t 100% vibe coded, it would be pretty cool.
A c compiler written in rust, with a lot of basics supported, an automated test suite that compiles well known c projects. Sounds like a fun project or academic work.
The incredible thing is this is actually the result of an explicit design decision.
The compiler accepts most GCC flags. Unrecognized flags (e.g., architecture- specific -m flags, unknown -f flags) are silently ignored so ccc can serve as a drop-in GCC replacement in build systems.
They’re so committed to vibing that they’d prefer if the compiler just does random shit to make it easier to shove it haphazardly into a build pipeline.
This is so fucked up. The AI company has the perfect answer and yet it rolls the die to recreate the same thing by chance. What are they expecting, really?
Has the same vibes as anthropic creating a C compiler which passes 99% of compiler tests.
That last percent is really important. At least that last percent are some really specific edge cases right?

Well fuck.

any llm must have several C compilers in its training data, so it would be a reasonably competent almost-clone of gcc/clang/msvc anyway, right?
is what i would have said if you didn’t put that last part
