Running/Interpreting C on top of the JVM?

Question

Is there a way to run plain c code on top of the JVM?

Answer 1

It seems that LLJVM can also meet your requirement.

LLJVM: Source code is first compiled to LLVM intermediate representation (IR) by a frontend such as llvm-gcc or clang. LLVM IR is then translated to Jasmin assembly code, linked against other Java classes, and then assembled to JVM bytecode.
