crustc: entirety of `rustc`, translated to C
1 min read
A project called crustc has translated rustc 1.98.0-nightly into 46 million lines of C code that compiles with GCC and make. The underlying toolchain, cilly, is a Rust-to-C compiler backend designed to support old or obscure hardware without LLVM or GCC support. Cilly adapts to any C compiler by generating witness programs that probe platform capabilities.
