1. make clean
2. make

Run code

• ./compiler [-vfph] <c_code/your_code.c>

• -v: display generated back-end code in the terminal.

• -f: output generated back-end code to <c_code/your_code.[(ll)/(py)]>.

• -p: alternatively generate python code.

• -h: help

Test code

• using lli c_code/your_code.ll to test llvm back-end code.
• using python c_code/your_code.py to test python back-end code.
