Überblick
C interpreter and API explorer
Verlauf
bic is a C interpreter and API explorer that lets developers experiment with C APIs through a REPL and evaluate C source files.
The public GitHub repository begins with an initial commit in July 2015, and release metadata records v0.9.1 in October 2019 followed by a first stable v1.0.0 release in February 2020.
The README describes bic as a tool for exploring and testing C APIs using a read-eval-print loop, with runtime dependencies on GNU Readline, GNU MP, and libffi.
bic remains a niche developer tool, but Homebrew and Nix packaging make it easy to install as a command-line REPL for systems programmers who want to poke at C libraries interactively.
The README also documents Docker and Arch Linux AUR installation paths, showing adoption in lightweight developer experimentation workflows rather than mainstream language-runtime distribution.
Running bic with no arguments opens a BIC> prompt where users can include system headers, declare variables, call C library functions, and inspect types or values with special REPL syntax.
The ~/.bic startup file is evaluated when the REPL starts, and source files can be evaluated with -s so that a C main function receives argc and argv.
bic is package-nerd interesting as a compact C REPL built from classic Unix development pieces: readline for interaction, flex/bison/autotools for building, GMP and libffi for runtime behavior, and a single-user dotfile for startup state.
It occupies the practical gap between compiling throwaway C programs and using a full debugger or notebook-style environment.
