Module to use the Tiny C Compiler for inlining C Code in Python.

Tested with:

  • CPython 2.7.6 and PyPy 2.2.1 Linux (both 64bit on x86_64, Ubuntu 14)
  • CPython 2.7.5 Windows (32bit on x86, Windows XP)
  • CPython 2.7.8 Windows (32bit on x86_64, Windows 10)
  • CPython 2.7.9 and PyPy 4.0.1 Linux (both 32bit on ARMv7 emulated, Raspberry Pi 3, Raspbian Jessie armhf)
  • CPython 2.7.3 Linux (32bit ARMv7, Wandboard, Ubuntu 12 armel)
  • CPython 3.4.3 Linux (64bit on x86_64, Ubuntu 14)

Get the Tiny C Compiler

Linux

Run the following commands:

cd<modulepath> git clone git://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git mkdir build cd build ../tinycc/configure --prefix=../linux --with-libgcc --disable-static make all make install

Windows

For Windows the repo contains a binary version (x86 only). It was build from source with MinGW:

cd<modulepath> git clone git://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git mkdir build cd build ../tinycc/configure --prefix=../win32 --disable-static --extra-ldflags=-static-libgcc make all make install

Examples

A simple example with the 'run' state:

>>>fromtinyccimportTinyCC>>>c_code='#include <stdio.h>'>>>c_code+='void main(void){'>>>c_code+=' printf("Hello World!\n");'>>>c_code+='}'>>>state=TinyCC().create_state('run') >>>state.compile(c_code) >>>state.run([])

Example with inline code:

>>>fromtinyccimportTinyCC, InlineGenerator>>>fromctypesimportc_int>>>>>>gen=InlineGenerator() >>>>>># C function to be used from Python ... @gen.c_function(c_int, c_int, c_int, c_int) ... defadd_mul(a, b, c): ... "return mul(a + b, c);"# calls the Python function mul ... >>># Python function to be used from C ... @gen.callable_function(c_int, c_int, c_int) ... defmul(a, b): ... returna*b ... >>># compile the code ... state=TinyCC().create_state() >>>state.compile(gen.code) >>>state.relocate() >>>>>># bind to state for symbol resolution ... gen.bind_state(state) >>>>>># use it ... add_mul(23, 42, 7) 455

See the example files for more usage ideas.

TODO

  • rework error handling
  • Testing
  • PyPI package
