The Monty language Monty 0.98 is a scripting language that is first compiled into Monty byte codes (Just like Python). It relies on a unique stack, with specific instructions to manipulate it. The goal of this project is to create an interpreter for Monty ByteCodes files.
Monty byte code files
Files containing Monty byte codes usually have the .m extension. Most of the industry uses this standard but it is not required by the specification of the language. There is not more than one instruction per line. There can be any number of spaces before or after the opcode and its argument:
julien@ubuntu:/monty$ cat -e bytecodes/000.m
push 0$
push 1$
push 2$
push 3$
pall $
push 4$
push 5 $
push 6 $
pall$
julien@ubuntu:/monty$
Monty byte code files can contain blank lines (empty or made of spaces only, and any additional text after the opcode or its required argument is not taken into account:
julien@ubuntu:/monty$ cat -e bytecodes/001.m
push 0 Push 0 onto the stack$
push 1 Push 1 onto the stack$

The monty program
Usage: monty file where file is the path to the file containing Monty byte code If the user does not give any file or more than one argument to your program, print the error message USAGE: monty file, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE If, for any reason, it’s not possible to open the file, print the error message Error: Can't open file , followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE where is the name of the file If the file contains an invalid instruction, print the error message L<line_number>: unknown instruction , followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE where is the line number where the instruction appears. Line numbers always start at 1 The monty program runs the bytecodes line by line and stop if either: it executed properly every line of the file it finds an error in the file an error occured If you can’t malloc anymore, print the error message Error: malloc failed, followed by a new line, and exit with status EXIT_FAILURE. You have to use malloc and free and are not allowed to use any other function from man malloc (realloc, calloc, …) Quiz questions Great! You've completed the quiz successfully! Keep going! (Show quiz) Tasks 0. push, pall mandatory Implement the push and pall opcodes.
The push opcode
The opcode push pushes an element to the stack.
Usage: push where is an integer if is not an integer or if there is no argument given to push, print the error message L<line_number>: usage: push integer, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE where is the line number in the file You won’t have to deal with overflows. Use the atoi function The pall opcode
The opcode pall prints all the values on the stack, starting from the top of the stack.
Usage pall
Format: see example
If the stack is empty, don’t print anything
julien@ubuntu:/monty$ cat -e bytecodes/00.m

- pint mandatory Implement the pint opcode.
The pint opcode
The opcode pint prints the value at the top of the stack, followed by a new line.
Usage: pint
If the stack is empty, print the error message L<line_number>: can't pint, stack empty, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
julien@ubuntu:/monty$ cat bytecodes/06.m
push 1

- pop mandatory Implement the pop opcode.
The pop opcode
The opcode pop removes the top element of the stack.
Usage: pop
If the stack is empty, print the error message L<line_number>: can't pop an empty stack, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
