  3. rustc_codegen_gcc

    libgccjit AOT codegen for rustc

    rustc_codegen_gcc is a GCC backend for Rust (i.e. it uses rustc to parse and typecheck (and other things) the code then uses GCC to compile it into a final executable).

  4. gccrs

    GCC Front-End for Rust

    GCC-RS is a GCC frontend for Rust (i.e. it's a completely separate compiler to rustc, doing all its own parsing and whatnot).

  5. llvm-cbe

    resurrected LLVM "C Backend", with improvements

    One alternative worth mentioning, though, would be the LLVM C Backend maintained by the Julia community.

  6. wabt

    The WebAssembly Binary Toolkit

    https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt/tree/main/wasm2c (WebAssembly to C)

  7. retdec

    RetDec is a retargetable machine-code decompiler based on LLVM.

    https://github.com/avast/retdec (multiple machine code formats to C/C++)
