C--Compiler

C--Compiler is an attempt to make, by hand, a very basic compiler to translate C++ into assembly for educational purposes. The aim to begin with, is for the compiler to be able to process a relatively small subset of C++, hence the name C--. This project has nothing to do with the C-- proramming language despite what the name of this project might suggest.
This project was part of a final year dissertation. the final_year_proj_june2020 branch reflects the project as it stood on submission

## Getting Started

Prerequisites

Dear ImGui Intermediate Mode GUI.
SFML as the rendering backend.
SFML-Bindings Dear ImGui SFML bindings - Can optionally use any other rendering backend Note sfml bindings do not support imgui docking.
ImGuiColorTextEdit Dear ImGui Text Editor Extension/Widget.
ImGuiFileDialog Dear ImGui Extension/Widget for file dialogs.
spdlog for formating and sinking to window (and potentially files).
magic_enum for stringifying enums.
treant-js can optionally be used to visualize the Abstract Syntax Tree produced by the parser using a web browser (required for the dissertation branch).
C++17

Current Features

Lexical Analysis (Mostly complete but some tokens, while they will be tokenized, they wont be recongized leading the parser to throw an error)
Parsing (declaration, declaration-assignment, assignment, if-elseif-else, while-dowhile, arithmetic-logical expressions, return statements)
Semantic Analysis (Checks for variable being declared or redefined in the current scope, nested scopes, symbols, symbol tables)
Partial integration in this branch | Intermediate code generation (TAC) for the language constructs mentioned above.
Partial integration in this branch | Some, possibly incorrect 'assembly'.

In Progress

Integration of modules from the final_year_proj_june2020 as Dear Imgui windows.
