Data structures

Please use the following data structures for this project. Don’t forget to include them in your header file.

/**
 * struct stack_s - doubly linked list representation of a stack (or queue)
 * @n: integer
 * @prev: points to the previous element of the stack (or queue)
 * @next: points to the next element of the stack (or queue)
 *
 * Description: doubly linked list node structure
 * for stack, queues, LIFO, FIFO
 */
typedef struct stack_s
{
        int n;
        struct stack_s *prev;
        struct stack_s *next;
} stack_t;

/**
 * struct instruction_s - opcode and its function
 * @opcode: the opcode
 * @f: function to handle the opcode
 *
 * Description: opcode and its function
 * for stack, queues, LIFO, FIFO
 */
typedef struct instruction_s
{
        char *opcode;
        void (*f)(stack_t **stack, unsigned int line_number);
} instruction_t;

Compilation & Output

• Your code will be compiled this way:

$ gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=c89 *.c -o monty

• Any output must be printed on stdout
• Any error message must be printed on stderr
  • Here is a link to a GitHub repository that could help you making sure your errors are printed on stderr

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:

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 <file>, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
  • where <file> is the name of the file
• If the file contains an invalid instruction, print the error message L<line_number>: unknown instruction <opcode>, 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, …)

Tasks

0. push, pall

Implement the push and pall opcodes.

The push opcode

The opcode push pushes an element to the stack.

• Usage: push <int>
  • where <int> is an integer
• if <int> 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
push 1$
push 2$
push 3$

julien@ubuntu:~/monty$ ./monty bytecodes/00.m

1. pint

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

2. pop

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

julien@ubuntu:~/monty$ cat bytecodes/07.m 
push 1

3. swap

Implement the swap opcode.

The swap opcode

The opcode swap swaps the top two elements of the stack.

• Usage: swap
• If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't swap, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE

push 1
push 2
push 3

4. add

Implement the add opcode.

The add opcode

The opcode add adds the top two elements of the stack.

• Usage: add
• If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't add, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
• The result is stored in the second top element of the stack, and the top element is removed, so that at the end:
  • The top element of the stack contains the result
  • The stack is one element shorter

5. nop

Implement the nop opcode.

The nop opcode

The opcode nop doesn’t do anything.

• Usage: nop

6. sub

Implement the sub opcode.

The sub opcode

The opcode sub subtracts the top element of the stack from the second top element of the stack.

• Usage: sub
• If the stack contains less than two elements, print the error message L<line_number>: can't sub, stack too short, followed by a new line, and exit with the status EXIT_FAILURE
• The result is stored in the second top element of the stack, and the top element is removed, so that at the end:
