C-to-MIPS Translator

Need to see exactly what your C function is doing under the hood on a MIPS processor? The C-to-MIPS Translator is your instant compiler-grade bridge between high-level logic and low-level instructions. Perfect for students, reverse-engineers, and hardware hackers alike, this tool produces straight-forward, comment-light assembly that you can assemble, link, and run without tweaks.

How It Works

1. Paste in valid ANSI C code—anything from a single function to a full file.
2. The translator walks through each statement, mapping it to equivalent MIPS32 instructions with proper register conventions and stack management.
3. You receive pure .s-file content—no fluff, no commentary—ready for your assembler.

Usage Example

Your C Code (input):

int add(int x, int y) {
    return x + y;
}

MIPS Assembly (output):

        .text
        .globl  add
add:
# function prologue
        addiu   $sp,$sp,-8
        sw      $ra,4($sp)

# load parameters (x in $a0, y in $a1)
        addu    $v0,$a0,$a1      # result = x + y

# function epilogue
        lw      $ra,4($sp)
        addiu   $sp,$sp,8
        jr      $ra

When to Use This Translator

• Verifying how a compiler would lower C constructs for coursework or exams.
• Learning MIPS assembly by comparing it to familiar C code.
• Debugging low-level issues on MIPS-based embedded systems.
• Demonstrating calling conventions and stack frames in teaching environments.
