Hopefully this will be a small compiler for a turing complete language
- Fix chained if/else statements
- Add boolean AND/OR/NOT operators
- Add a
returnkeyword to return values from the middle of function execution - Add option for debugging information in builds
- code generation for ternary operator
- Add strings
See the wiki for implementation notes and bits about the language, which I've called SIMPLE. Example programs used for testing can be found here
This is a pain
Installing the LLVM libraries depends on the distro/package manager.
Install LLVM 7 (with libraries) with sudo pacman -S llvm or just libraries with sudo pacman -S llvm-libs.
Follow the instructions at http://apt.llvm.org/.
Use sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.llvm.org/stretch/ llvm-toolchain-stretch-7 main" then sudo apt install llvm-7 for LLVM 7 on Stretch for example.
This project uses cmake, so it should be straightforward
Make sure you are in the build directory, then cmake .. && make
There is no support for linking LLVM on Windows because I have no idea how to make it work.
Just open the folder in visual studio if you are using it and it has support for cmake projects, or use cmake CLI/GUI to generate the solution files in the build directory and then open
There are a set of sample programs which the compiler should be tested with. These are run from a python script. In order to run the tests, first build the compiler in the build/ directory before changing to the test/ directory and running the script. Expected ouputs can be defined in the test programs with #EXPECT:x where x is the expected numerical output.
In addition, #EXPECT:FAIL can be used to specify a program for which compilation should fail.
Compiler_Test/ contain old unit tests that are not used any more
