Kaleidoscope language and compiler
This is my work on the Kaleidoscope language and compiler based on the Kaleidoscope LLVM Tutorial and inspired by the tutorial from Loren Segal. Since the Kaleidoscope LLVM Tutorial doesn't care about design principles and stuff, I'm trying to recreate the tutorial in a cleaner way. Later I want to integrate flexc++ as a lexer and bisonc++ as AST parser instead of the self written lexer and parser from the tutorial.
Why on GitHub
This is mainly a personal project for learning about lexer, parser and compilers. GitHub acts both as online backup and to show off my learning experience.
Installation
First you have to compile the kaleidoscope compiler itself. Create a directory outside of the git repo and cd into it.
cmake ~/path/to/kaleidoscope/gitrepo && make
Usage
The kaleidoscope binary is located in the src folder. Currently kaleidoscope only parses the input and shows which
expression was parsed.
$ ./kaleidoscope
ready> def foo(x y) x+foo(y, 4.0);
Parsed a function definition.
ready> def foo(x y) x+y y;
Parsed a function definition.
Parsed a top-level expr
ready> def foo(x y) x+y );
Parsed a function definition.
Error: unknown token when expecting an expression
ready> extern sin(a);
Parsed an extern
ready> ^D
$
