testlang_compiler
This is a compiler for a testlang programming language that generates executable code for a target machine. The compiler takes source code written in the testlang language and that can be executed on the target system.
Getting Started
To use the compiler, you need to have Python 3 installed on your system. You can download Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Once you have Python installed, you can clone the repository from GitHub and run the compiler using the following command:
python main.py
file_address in main.py is the path to the source code file you want to compile.
Language Features
The testlang supported by the compiler includes the following features:
- Variables and data types (integer, etc.)
- Arithmetic and logical expressions
- Control flow statements (if-else, while, for, etc.)
- Functions and procedures
Architecture
-
Lexical Analysis: The source code is tokenized into a sequence of lexemes by the lexer, which identifies the basic building blocks of the language, such as keywords, identifiers, and literals.
-
Syntax Analysis: The parser reads the sequence of lexemes and constructs a parse tree that represents the structure of the program according to the language grammar rules.
-
Semantic Analysis: The semantic analyzer checks the program for semantic errors, such as type mismatches and undeclared variables. It also performs type checking and generates symbol tables.
-
IR Generation: The IR generator traverses the parse tree and generates IR code that corresponds to the program's semantics and can be executed on the target machine.
