iLang Compiler Project

Overview

iLang is a simple imperative language for which this compiler is created.

Requirements

1. LLVM 4.0.1 - install from source is preferable, check llvm installation guide for instructions
2. C++14 compatible compiler (gcc or clang)
3. CMake 3.6+

Installation

CMake is used as a build system. Here is the installation process:

Linux/OS X

1. Create directory where all build files will be placed.

   mkdir build && cd build

2. Generate build files, if you are missing some dependencies, cmake will fail.

   cmake ../src

3. Build executable

   make

4. Check that everything works by running

   ./voc

Running

Right now compiler generates object code file for given input. You can provide it a source file ./voc -o dest source

Result will be object file, which can be linked with C/C++ program to obtain executable. In the future, we will provide working driver to generate executable, but at the moment you have to do following steps:

1. Compile voc source file
2. Create C file, which declares and calls necessary function
3. Build it using C compiler, and provide it generated object
4. You now have working executable.

Folder test contains examples of programs, including some simple algorithms such as greatest common divisor and sort.
