FAQ

Why there's not a single free in the code?

$ grep -rn "free" *.c *.h
$

I am aware that this is a problem that shouldn't be underestimated. The main reason is that allocations aren't made systematically in the currently used C codebase. (Allocators) I hope self-hosted compiler will fix this issue

Where does the name come from?

It's just C++(cpp) with swapped letters
