rbm is a WIP compiler for the B-Minor language. It contains hand written
lexer and recursive descent parser. In the grammar.md file one can find
the grammar used by the rbm.
rbm is a project of mine that I used to learn about both compiler construction
and rust language. It is not something you should use professionally.
B-Minor is a C like language. It was introduced in the "Introduction to Compilers and Language Design" by Douglas Thain. You can think of it as less capable C. That means it doesn't have pointers, structures or unions. B-Minor is statically and strongly typed language. You can find more infromation about it in the book.
To perform lexical analysis on some source file run
rbm lex <path_to_source_file>
To perform syntactic analysis and obtain AST as a result run
rbm parse <path_to_source_file>
For more details run
> rbm --help
rbm is work-in-progress. Current state is as follows:
- lexical analysis
- syntactic analysis
- AST generation
- semantic analysis
- optimization
- code generation
