C compiler in C++
This is a learning project for Crafting interpreters.
Most part of C is supported. Support for pointer is hacky. See tests/ for the supported part.
For which part is supported, see test code under tests/.
Graphviz binary and llvm must be installed. llvm headers are required.
Linker commands are dependent on platform and distribution. See the link function in object.cc.
make
make test
./clox SOURCE
And then ./a.out, ./output.o, ./output.dot and ./output.png are genereated.
./a.out is the executable file.
./output.o is the object file.
./output.dot is the dot description of the AST.
./output.png is the graph generated according to ./output.dot
Generally speaking, the type system is a whole mess. Basic types (int, double, char, bool) works, and arrays should work in most case.
Other things are like:
- Pointer is not supported.
- Pointer arguments are supported but in a hacky way.
- Array is partly supported.
- Struct and unions are not supported.
