PCL (Python-C Linked) Minimal Compiler
Run Python and C together in a single .pcl file.
# Code AssistantWhat is PCL (Python-C Linked) Minimal Compiler?
PCL is a minimal proof-of-concept compiler and runner for PCL files, which combine embedded C and Python code into a single source file.
Problem
Developers need to manually integrate Python and C code in separate files, leading to time-consuming and error-prone development processes.
Solution
A compiler tool (PCL) enabling users to combine Python and C code into a single .pcl file, allowing seamless execution of embedded C and Python code together (e.g., shared variables, hybrid scripting).
Customers
Developers, embedded systems engineers, and programmers working on performance-critical applications or cross-language projects.
Unique Features
Single-file integration of Python and C, minimalistic compiler design, and direct interoperability between language-specific code sections without external bindings.
