A compiler created by @connernilsen and @kinto0!
- Python-like syntax
- An expression based language
- Sequencing
- Recursion
- Garbage collection
- Strong dynamic typing
- First-class functions
- Built-in numbers, booleans, strings, tuples,
- Let bindings
- Reading from stdin/writing to stdout
- Compilation to x86_64 assembly
- C runtime for support functionality
- String and list library
- Install OPAM (make sure you have at least v2.1.2)
- Note: using Homebrew is easiest if possible
- Install a switch for OCaml by running
opam switch create 4.13.1 - Install required packages
opam install extlib ounit batteries utop - Make sure the following APT packages are installed:
clang, nasm, valgrind, bubblewrap, m4
To build Snakey, run make main from the current directory. The final executable should be available in the current directory as main.
To build the main executable and test executable, run make test in the current directory. The test executable should be made available as test in the current directory.
Since each of the tests need to be removed before re-running ./test, another Makefile command has been created to cache useful files for repeated tests. Run make ct to remove unnecessary tempfiles and rebuild both the main and test executables using cached resources.
To run the main executable, provide the location of the source file as a parameter. For example, ./main myfile.sn. The following options are also available
-t: enable a trace of the compilation process, showing the output produced by each stage of the compiler-d: enable debug output-alloc <strategy>: use the given binding allocation strategy (options arestackandregister)
