Contents

Everything here is taken from the slides for the "Compiler Construction" course, i.e. it is directly from Prof. Ronald C. Moore.

Or at least, after all this time, I really don't remember having stolen this code from somewhere else, but if you find an older copy that looks similar, please let me know, so I can give credit where credit is due -- or disavow knowledge of that source (as the case may be).

There are (or will be some day) subdirectories here:

  1. interpreter
    This code take mathematical expressions and evaluates them, i.e. it outputs numbers.

  2. halfBakedCompiler
    This code takes mathematical expressions and convets them into an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree), then dumps that tree to output (i.e. displays the tree as text). It does nothing really useful, in other words.

  3. LLVMcompiler
    This is vaporware -- in other words, it does not exist yet, and may never do so. But I hope someday to create a version that builds the AST, then converts it to LLVM IR, and then evaluates the IR (using LLVM's JIT capabilities). Perhaps it could some day even create an executable binary? That would be "nice to have", as people say...
