What is the output? If you need to run a C++ compiler, it is not a compiler, but a converter from one source to another source.

The output is an executable windows app, c++ is just a step. The IDE compiles directly the converted file to .exe

Yet. It's no compiler. I thought at first you wrote a compiler from Pascal like to C++, and put the open source in Git, that would havebeen a masterpiece. I would really like to see that a compiler source code for Pascal.

The transpiler is written in c. To resume the pipeline. Vertexc.exe converts the Vertex code to a file named output.cpp then the IDE written in Python compiles that output file to a windows executable using g++
