The <a class="external" href="http://www.smlnj.org/doc/ckit"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">ckit Library</a> is a C front end written in SML that translates C source code (after preprocessing) into abstract syntax represented as a set of SML datatypes.  The ckit Library is distributed with SML/NJ.  Due to differences between SML/NJ and MLton, this library will not work out-of-the box with MLton. <p>
As of 20070812, MLton includes a port of the ckit Library synchronized with SML/NJ version 110.65. 
</p>
<h2 id="head-0bb18642b70b9f8a9c12ccf39487328f306b8e19">Usage</h2>

    <ul>

    <li>
<p>
 You can import the ckit Library into an MLB file with: 
<div>
<table>
 <tr>
<td align="center">
MLB file</td>
<td align="center">
Description</td>
</tr>
 <tr>
<td>
<tt>$(SML_LIB)/ckit-lib/ckit-lib.mlb</tt></td>
<td>
 </td>
</tr>

</p>
</table>
</div>
</li>
    <li class="gap">
<p>
 If you are porting a project from SML/NJ's <a href="CompilationManager">CompilationManager</a>  to MLton's <a href="MLBasis"> ML Basis system</a> using <tt>cm2mlb</tt>, note that  the following map is included by default: 
<pre>$ckit-lib.cm/ckit-lib.cm   $(SML_LIB)/ckit-lib/ckit-lib.mlb
</pre> This will automatically convert a <tt>$/ckit-lib.cm</tt> import in an  input <tt>.cm</tt> file into a <tt>$(SML_LIB)/ckit-lib/ckit-lib.mlb</tt>  import in the output <tt>.mlb</tt> file.  
</p>
</li>

    </ul>
