Historique du projet

The official README describes CxGo as a practical C-to-Go translator that uses modernc.org/cc for preprocessing and parsing C, then applies a custom type-checker and AST translation layer. Its stated goals are correctness, human-readable output, and configurable translation.

Historique d'adoption

The project documents successful tests on several real-world ports, including Potrace, G722, PortableGL, and Physac, while warning users not to rely on it in production or sensitive environments.

Modes d'utilisation

Users install cxgo with go install or a release binary, run cxgo against a C file for simple cases, and use cxgo.yml for larger conversions that need roots, include paths, file lists, replacements, identifier hints, VCS input, and pre/post commands.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

CxGo is notable to package maintainers because it sits at the boundary between porting and packaging: it can turn legacy C codebases into Go projects, but its experimental status means the package is most useful for controlled migrations and inspection rather than blind production conversion.

Chronologie

• The README marks CxGo experimental and documents compiler-test coverage.
• GitHub release metadata lists v0.5.2 among the published releases.
• The config reference documents cxgo.yml as the YAML project configuration file.

Related projects

• CxGo depends on the Go ecosystem, modernc.org/cc, and its own translated example projects such as gotrace and g722.
