Running code

You can use the ./run-test script to compile and run C code. Simply run ./run-test <c file> after running mkdir scratch. You'll need bat, wabt, and wasmer installed.

Running tests

You will need to clone the c-testsuite into the repo: https://github.com/c-testsuite/c-testsuite You'll also need all the tools listed in the Running Code section above. Then you can ./run-all. It currently passes 34/220 test cases.
