#2That is pretty stripped down. Could probably be ported to JavaScript without breaking a sweat.

#3I just wanted to credit Reddit's /r/tinycode sub-Reddit for this link: http://www.reddit.com/r/tinycode - it's a pretty cool place to discover minimalistic implementations of things.

#4I honestly think this is ridiculous. Sure, this is an incredible feat, and congrats. But serioulsy, I would be ashamed to publish such unreadable code under my name.
What about naming your variables with descriptive names?
What about extracting complex conditions into well named function to understand what is going on (thus defeating the purpose of the "4 functions") ?
This list could go on forever...
Writing software is not a contest for who can write the most amount of code in the most cryptic way.

The variable names thing really annoyed me too - a habit of code golf, and people who were originally trained in an old FORTRAN edition that had a 6 or 7 char limit on names.

I assume it's a minified version of the other C compiler in his Github account, which does have better variable names and some comments. https://github.com/rswier/swieros/blob/master/root/bin/c.c

#8Pretty damn impressive.
Though I must wonder: how complete is it? What does it and does it not support? It's at least complete enough to be self-hosting, but beyond that? The code doesn't use that much of C.

#9Unfortunately, I cannot compile it on my OSX 10.10... here's what I get: http://pastebin.com/cVvaYFEH
EDIT: just make next() function void and it works.
EDIT2: still no fortune :(
