FPGA C Compiler on sourceforge.net (TMCC derivative)

Project released a beta based on an enhanced TMCC, and is looking for help to bring FpgaC up to a production stable level.

The starting base of TMCC was pretty primative, and really a step toward a C based HDL. I would like to see FpgaC evolve into a full featured C that targets reconfigurable computing rather than just another C subset HDL that competes with VHDL/Verilog.

Steps toward that goal have included moving toward std C syntax and moving TMCC hardware specific features to pragmas. TMCC violated std C scoping rules and didn't implement Struct, Union, enum, or typedef -- all of which I would like to see added into the next release of FpgaC by rewriting the yacc/lex and symbol manager.

FpgaC is looking for developers at all levels, and hopefully can grow over time to support std C on FPGAs targeted specifically to be the C to netlist tool for reconfigurable computing for students, hobbiests, and small businesses that can not afford the expensive tools used by corporate developers.
