Some CGCC Features and Examples

Some features of CGCC
If it works in C or C99 give it a try in CGCC

See the original posting for more info on what CGCC is

This page should give some examples of the capabilities that CGCC already supports.

C Style comments
Multiline block comments can be used to comment out large sections of GCode

// Single Line Comment
/*
Multiline Comment
*/

Declare functions with return values

float AddFive(float i) {
return i + 5
}

Evaluate expressions inside GCode

float x = 1;
float r = 2;
G00 X[x + r / 4]

#Include is supported
Useful for making libraries of functions in header files and including them in your GCode programs.

#include "lib.h"

Assignment from native GCode numbered variables
This is useful in probing operations

x = #1

Directly Emit GCode with the __gcode__ keyword
Useful if you run into a situation where CGCC doesn't handle exactly what you need. You can just emit the correct GCode manually.

__gcode__("(DEBUG, THIS IS A TEST)");

The const keyword to declare constants

const float Radius = 5;

Comparison Operators

== != < <= >= >

Arithmatic Operators

+ - * /

Compiler detects the use of uninitialized variables

Compiler detects use of undeclared variables

Postfix Increment and Decrement

x++
x--

If else statements

if (x == y) {
} else {
}

While statements

while (x != y) {
}
