WAForth2C: Experiment to use WAForth to convert Forth to C

Uses WAForth to generate WebAssembly modules, passes them to wasm2c, and compiles and loads everything together into a native binary.

Usage

  1. Create a .f file with a main word defined (e.g. example/sieve.f)

  2. Compile

     ./waforth2c.js examples/sieve.f
    

    This will generate .wasm files for all the defined words.

  3. Build

     make
    

    This will generate .c files from the .wasm files generated in 2., and build them using the C compiler.

  4. Run

     ./main
