My main goal before building this project out to ISO standardization is to develop something satisfactory for the everyday C programmer to use. Based off of the progress I have made so far (as of July 15th, 2025), here is the list for what "satisfactory" looks like:
Support for all forms of ternary expressions
Support for float and double types (in expressions, statements, declarations, and all other locations)
Support for the long double type (in expressions, statements, declarations, and all other locations)
Support for all standard constant expressions
Support for initializers on objects with static storage duration
Support for the const and volatile type qualifiers
Implicit zero initialization for bytes in objects initialized with an initializer list
All constraints on expressions (excluding those about variable-length arrays or variably-modified types)
All constraints on statements (excluding those about variable-length arrays or variably-modified types)
All constraints on declarations (excluding those about variable-length arrays or variably-modified types)
Complete System V ABI support for function calls (excluding any support for _Complex or _Imaginary types)
Support for bitfields in structs and unions
Support for unsigned integer types (where not already present)
Support for basic C standard I/O functions (fopen, fclose, fputc, fgetc)
Support for heap allocation (malloc, calloc, free)
Analysis diagnostics for all unsupported ISO C features
Notably, this list does not include the following:
Support for _Complex types
Support for _Imaginary types
Support for variable-length arrays
Support for variably-modified types
Support for the restrict type qualifier
Support for the inline function specifier
Support for the implicit __func__ declaration
Support for functions without prototypes (K&R-declared functions)
