C files to V translated successfully but all got plenty of errors when running.
There were 3 files I translated, all exhibits similar characteristics: all translated successfully but lots of errors when running the file. Starting from sorting_algorithms (bubble sort, heap sort, etc) Then I pull out a simpler C file: calculate_pi Lastly I tried a hello_world C file --> translated successfully and some errors, but after manual fixing here and there I got it to run.
here is my hello_world.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
const char lang[] = "C";
const char object[] = "World";
printf("Hello, %s %s!\n", lang, object);
return 0;
}
below is the translated hello_world.v

fn main() {
lang := c'C'
object := c'World'
C.printf(c'Hello, %s %s!\n', lang, object)
return
}
below is the error messages I got when trying to run the hello_world.v
as you can see the errors are minor typos...but why these errors appeared in the first place? I mean in the Youtube demo, you translated the whole DOOM game...why translating just a hello_world script ended up with these errors?
For the other files I just don't bother anymore coz it's a lot and lots of minor errors that needed fixing. Also looking at there are some open issues relating to the same error...should we expect a fix sometime soon?
