[antlr-interest] Is this the correct use of ANTLR

If your goal is to have a C like scripting language for your command line, Tiny C Compiler (http://bellard.org/tcc/) already do this.

Just start your C code by: 
#!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run
and you can use it from the command line :)

Subject: [antlr-interest] Is this the correct use of ANTLR

 
Hi all,
 
I’m trying to create a simple scripting language that
looks similar to C but I don’t actually need to implement an interpreter.
  I just want to convert this “ultra-simple C” subset
language into basic C and then run it through GCC to create an executable. 
Is it easier to start with say an ANSI C grammar and cut out what I don’t
need or actually find a more simple programming language?  I really just
want mathematical expressions, functions defined within the file, if/else
if/else, and loops  (while, for, foreach).
 
My end goal is to be able to take a user’s script
file, process it, add the required integration fluff and then create a .o I can
link into my application.
 
I’m a total newbie when it comes to this stuff so I apologize
in advance for the basic question.
 
Thanks
