Here is a simple brainfuck compiler written in C. Most of the code was
written in 2023.
Here is a simple brainfuck compiler/interpreter written in C. Most of
the code was written in 2023, but the compiler code was written in 2024.
Build instructions
==================
A C compiler capable of compiling C11 is required. `clang' and `gcc'
have been tested. `yasm' and `ld' are required for `obc', but the
assembly transpile step should work.
Goals
=====
+ [X] Complete reference interpreter for brainfuck
+ [ ] Native compiler
+ [X] Native compiler
Notes
=====
I cheat heavily to make the native compiler here; I'm not writing my
own ELF executables by hand (using `elf.h'). Instead I write valid
assembly code in a string buffer, then compile that via `yasm' and
`ld'.
It shouldn't be all that difficult to make a JIT from this point; just
translating the assembly snippets into machine code and embedding that
into an executable page.
