C Minus Minus

An experiment in coding C like it was Go.

VERY UNSTABLE

Thoughts

A workspace is a directory with src, pkg and bin sub directories.
A package directory path under the src sub directory is a URI to a git repository.
Path based imports are be resolved by using the path segments as a URI for a git clone should the package path not exist in the src directory.
A package directory contains *.c files (no *.h files).
Header files are generated automatically from publicly declared functions and variables.
Public functions or variables must start with the packages directory name and a capital letter.
A publicly declared struct must have public CreateStructName() and DestroyStructName() functions which should manage all memory for that struct.
The src directory must contain all code required to compile the binary (no linked binaries are allowed).
The pkg directory contains all generated code made from the src directory.
The bin directory contains compiled binaries installed via this workspace.
Files ending in _test.c are only used by test compiles.

Setup

git clone git@github.com:ricallinson/cmm.git
. ./cmm/cmm.sh
go build ./cmm/workspace/src/github.com/cmm/cmmb # Then add to execution path.
cd ./cmm/workspace/src/github.com/cmm/hello
cmm here
cmm test

Usage

Prints all commands cmm supports;

cmm help

Prints the current version of cmm;

cmm version

Prints all environment variables used by cmm;

cmm env

Sets the current workspace by finding the workspace the current directory is in;

cmm here

Create a new workspace at the given directory;

cmm here .

Removes the pkg and _gcov directories;

cmm clean

Download and install packages and dependencies for the given URI;

TODO: cmm get <Package URI>

Execute all _test.c files in the current directory;

cmm test

Execute all _test.c files in the current directory and all sub directories recursively;

TODO: cmm test ...

Compile the files in the current directory and place the binary in the bin directory;

cmm install
