There are such things around. See http://www.mpeforth.com/ for details of their 'Sock-Puppet' which will handle c-code with the ease you can handle Forth words. There might also be some papers in the past EuroForth proceedings <http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/euroforth/>. Regards Paul E.

Thank you very much, it's helplful.
but I think Sock-Puppet give solution on how to call C libary from Forth, rather than compile C source to Forth directly, if my understanding wrong pls correct me.

I find a report https://github.com/daniRiesgo/C-to-Forth-compiler/blob/master/report.pdf, but unfortunately, it is not written in English.

Thanks,
Best,

Yes, the C has to be compiled first, then Sock-Puppet acts like the linker for the C routines. The one you found looks like Spanish. I guess some time with a translator package might yield most of the sense out of it. Regards Paul E.

You might want to have a look at the ELVM Compiler Infrastructure, even if it looks more like a proof of concept. The (very simple) Forth backend is here.

There's a community version from long ago at:

Look for C2Forth.
