UPDATE

I'm strongly considering rewriting this project in C++. Why? A couple of reasons.

1. I'm currently employed at a firm that uses C++ as their primary language.
2. There's more opportunity to explore different backends. Most notably, LLVM.

So, I may archive this project soon.

IN PROGRESS

What is this?

This is my attempt at writing a compiler for a simple C-like imperative language that targets my custom runtime.

This is more or less based on the compilers course at Cornell University.

Side node:

• Compilers at Cornell is regarded as one of the most difficult CS courses there, which I'm starting to realize why :)

Goals for the compiler

• Lexical Analysis
• Syntactic Analysis
• Type checking
• IR generation
• Converting IR to assembly language in the runtime
• Optimization somewhere?

BACKLOG(TODO features for later)

1. Implement support for global variables.
