A compiler for Aryadev's Assembly Language, an assembly-like
programming language, which targets the
[[https://github.com/aryadev-software/avm/][AVM]].

* How to build
Requires =GNU make= and a compliant C++17 compiler.  Code base has
been tested against =g++= and =clang=, but given how the project has
been written without use of GNU'isms (that I'm aware of) it shouldn't
be an issue to compile using something like =tcc= or another compiler
(look at [[file:Makefile::CPP=g++][here]] to change the compiler).

To build everything simply run ~make~.  This will build:
+ [[file:asm/main.cpp][Assembler executable]] which assembles
  compliant assembly code to VM bytecode
+ [[file:examples/][Assembly examples]] which provide some source code
  examples on common programs one may write.  Use this to figure out
  how to write compliant AAL.  Also a good test of both the VM and
  assembler.

You may also build each component individually through the
corresponding recipe:
+ ~make asm~
+ ~make examples~

#+begin_src sh :results table :exports results

wc -lwc $(find src/ -regex ".*\.[ch]\(pp\)?") | awk '{print $4 "\t" $1 "\t" $2 "\t" $3}'
#+end_src
