Ask HN: List of (open source) C compilers

[fm77]

Over the years I found quite some interesting C compiler projects here on HN, sometimes introduced as its on thread, sometimes buried as a simple link deep down in some comments. Here and there I bookmarked them, but certainly not all.

It would be cool if we had one single page where all the wonderful compiler projects are collected, so my question is: can we somehow compile/assemble/put together a list of C compilers in this thread in the form of

  *) Name of the project
  *) Link to homepage/sourcecode
  *) programming language used for the compiler
  *) compiles to … (x86 binary, asm-text, etc…)
  *) whatever else might be interesting 

Tiny compilers / unfinished projects / educational projects / subsets of C / etc… are also very welcome.

Clang, TCC (sorry for not giving details because I have not really used them). Closed source compilers I know are VS and Borland.

Most of us have just used gcc since the mid-90s.

Laziness, I know. But it's there on the machine, so we use it.
