A Standard ML to C compiler. sml2c is a batch compiler and
compiles only module-level declarations, i.e. signatures,
structures and functors. It provides the same pervasive
environment for the compilation of these programs as SML/NJ.
As a result, module-level programs that run on SML/NJ can be
compiled by sml2c without any changes. Based on SML/NJ
version 0.67 and shares front end and most of its run-time
system, but does not support SML/NJ style debugging and
profiling.
