   Hi all,   
      
   I figured now is a reasonable time to let you know that I have picked up an   
   age-old project of mine again - the C64-hosted Small C compiler cc64, written   
   in Forth.   
      
   Its versions 0.4, uploaded to ccnga.uwaterloo.edu in 1995, seems to have   
   managed to stick around in a few lists of languages/compilers for the C64,   
   despite it still having some serious bugs.   
      
   I had written the thing during my university years, and after graduation both a   
    breakdown of my C64, and getting busy with entering the workforce conspired to   
    abort further development.   
      
   It has been a lingering dream/ambition of mine since then to some day pick it   
   up again and finish it, for some value of finish. And after getting an   
   unexpected ping about cc64 last summer, I found that I now have the time and   
   opportunity, and started to    
   play around with it again.   
      
   So far it's been mostly about stabilizing things: collect and merge sources   
   from back then (turned out I had unintentionally forked the sources at some   
   point), move things to an emulator and get enough tooling in place for a sane   
   automated build and test    
   process, write the first set of tests, and fix the first bugs I found. This   
   includes the static vars linking bug.   
      
   I don't consider it in any way done yet (e.g. forward references of functions   
   is still broken - next bug on my list), but I still feel I should slowly expose   
    it to a few more eyes.   
      
   For all who would like to take a look, this is where it lives:

   Cheers   
   /Philip
