+# Local version of c4
+
+This local version of c4 is used to guarantee that our own bootstrapped
+cc.c can also run on c4. This makes sure we are not integrating too
+complex things into our own compiler.
+
+* currently integrated:
+ - switch statement from switch-and-structs, adapted c4 to use switch
+ statements instead of ifs (as in switch-and-structs)
+* my own changes:
+ - constants like EOF, EXIT_SUCCESS, NULL
+ - standard C block comments along to c++ end of line ones
+ - negative enum initializers
+ - do/while loops
+ - more C functions like isspace, getc, strcmp
+ - some simplified functions for printing like putstring, putint, putnl
+
