UAI Programming Language

(A working in progress).

UAI is a C-like scripting language.

Goals of this project:

• Learn C and memory;
• Learn how to write a compiler and a stack virtual machine to run bytecodes;
• It doesn't intend to be the safest implementation, as this requires a lot of c knowledge (and, you know, achieving a secure code with C is not that trivial).

TODO:

• Lexer
• Parser
• Compiler (Bytecode generation)
• VM

Future scope:

• Unicode support for strings (a hard one :P)

Compiling

This project uses Meson (CMake is good, but Meson, besides its powerful, is more friendly with newcomers).

So, the first thing you need to do after cloning this repo is:

$ meson builddir

It will generate the buildir, then you can run the tests:

$ meson test -C builddir/ -v 

Testing using Valgrind (a tool to find memory leaks):

$ meson test -C builddir/ -v --wrap='valgrind --leak-check=full'
