Tiny Compiler

TinyCompiler is a simple compiler implementation written in C. It includes a lexer, parser, and interpreter for a basic programming language.

Features

  • Lexical analysis
  • Parsing
  • Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) generation
  • Basic interpretation

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • GCC or any C compiler
  • Make (optional, for building using the provided Makefile)

Building

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/mustafa-khann/tiny-compiler.git
cd tinycompiler

  2. Compile the project:

    make

    Or manually:

    gcc -o tinycompiler main.c lexer.c parser.c interpreter.c -I.

Running

Run the compiler on a source file:

./tinycompiler script.tc
