Python 2.7 Assembler Project (C)

Project Goal

This repository contains a C implementation of the early stages of a Python 2.7 assembler pipeline. The project reads Python assembly source files (.pys) and is intended to build a Python bytecode-related object (.pyc workflow target).

The coursework was split into four deliverables:

1. Deliverable 1: Regular-expression engine.
2. Deliverable 2: Lexical analysis (lexeme extraction).
3. Deliverable 3: Syntax analysis (parser and Python object scaffolding).
4. Deliverable 4: Bytecode generation and serialization (not completed in this version).

Build and Run

Build all programs and tests:

make

Run lexer example:

./prog/lexer.exe test-data/lex/regexp_file.txt test-data/lex/source/totor_1.pys

Run parser entrypoint:

./prog/parser.exe test-data/lex/regexp_file.txt test-data/lex/source/totor_1.pys

Run all test executables:

make runtests
