First Pascal-like languages and later C.
FPC's main developer doesn't see a need for it.
Indeed. Please tell what a C front end to FPC helps? FPC has no
advantage over existing C compilers except being a pascal compiler ;).
Do you think any C developer will work on a C compiler written in
pascal? It won't make interfacing C headers easier as explained multiple
times. So what do you expect from a C front end?
E.g. the elimination of the translation of C headers or entire libraries
(bzip...), quick evaluation of sample code (usually in and for C
libraries or APIs)...
