This is the Think C 6.01 version of Little_C -- a subset C interpreter
by Herbert Schildt.

Little C is a C interpreter that can execute a subset of K&R ANSI C
programming language. ANSI C is a robust and powerful programming
language, but the Little C interpreter only implements a limited range
of features. These include: parameterized functions with local variables;
recursion; if statement; do-while, while, and for loops; integer and
character variables; global variables; integer, character, and string
constraints; return statement; several library functions; several
operators; functions returning integers; and comments. A recursive-descent
parser is used to implement the C interpreter. Details of the development,
coding, and functionality of the C interpreter are described in

Schildt, Herbert.
