SDSCP is free software, available under GPL v2

Český návod ZDE

This project's goal is to enable better syntax in SDS-C.

It's a python script that works as a processor, digesting your source to a form which the SDS-C compiler can understand.

Look in the unit tests folder to see what transformations SDSCP can do.

Highlights:

• #include directive
• Function-like and array-like macros
• Code branching with #ifdef, #ifndef, #if, defined() ...

• Double quotes for strings, single quotes for ASCII characters
• Adjacent strings without comma are now correctly joined

• for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++), even with multiple variables and complex expressions
• while(cond)
• do {} while(cond)
• switch - just like in C, including default:, break; and fall-through
• break, continue in all loops
• if - else if - else, with unlimited chaining
• Free-standing blocks {}

• Reimplemented functions (with arguments and return values).
• Unlimited number of functions
• Stack in ram[] - Used for argument passing and return values
• Single-use function inlining
• Dead code removal
• Any function can be called from anywhere, declaration order does not matter like in classic C or SDS-C
• goto is only allowed within a function,
• labels are local to function

• Global, function and block scope
• All variables can have default value (var x = 15;)
• Automatic management and re-use of temporary variables, this works around the variable limit in SDS-C

• Incorrect arithmetic operator precedence: SDSCP automatically adds parentheses to expressions
• Fix unary minus not working correctly in SDS-C
• if() can now have any statement as body, not only goto or block
• All built-in functions now accept arbitary expressions as arguments: e.g. echo(), sprintf()
• Arrays can use any expression as index: sys[], text[], ram[], share[]. SDS-C only allows a variable or number as index.

To run SDSCP, you need Python 3 installed.

It is designed for use on Linux, some small adjustments may be needed to use it on other systems. (Not tested)

There is a bunch of python files in the project, the sdscp one being the main executable. Add this to your PATH and you're good.

Then, use sdscp -h for the most up-to-date info on command line arguments.

The most basic use is like so:

# show output code on screen
sdscp input.c -d

# store output code to a file
sdscp input.c -o output.c

SDSCP generates a SDS-C compatible source code, or warns you if there is a problem.
