The Comptime Compiler for Brainfuck. Compiles Brainfuck entirely at compile time and produces a raw executable, written in Zig.
It doesn't work with every Brainfuck example, because I couldn't figure out why some programs wouldn't compile.
Here are the options you can pass into zig build:
| Option | Required? | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
-Dsource |
Yes | The source file of the brainfuck to compile | N/A |
-Dtape-size |
No | The number of cells available to the program to use | 4096 |
-Dsigned-cells |
No | Whether the cells can allow negative values | N/A |
-Dcell-size |
No | The size of the cells in bits for the tape | 8 |
Requires Zig 0.12.0.
Use the following commands for each of the examples:
| Example | Command | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Fibonacci | zig build -Dsource="examples/fibonacci.bf" -Dcell-size=16 |

| Hello, World! | zig build -Dsource="examples/hello-world.bf" |

| Hello, World! (Minimal) | zig build -Dsource="examples/minimal-hello-world.bf" -Dtape-size=256 |

| 99 Bottles of Beer | zig build -Dsource="examples/99-bottles-of-beer.bf" |

| Mandelbrot | zig build -Dsource="examples/mandelbrot.bf" |

I wanted to test Zig's compile-time capabilities.
There's no compiler or interpreter, Zig code is essentially generated based on compile-time logic, which the Zig compiler compiles naturally.
What?
