Hi! In this repository we’ll develop the final assignment for the INF01147 course: a bison and flex based compiler for a C-like language.

Planned Stages of Development

The project will span the following steps:

Stage	Description
E1	Lexical Analysis
E2	Syntax Analysis
E3	Abstract Syntax Tree
E4	Semantic Analysis
E5	Code Generation
E6	Execution Support
E7	Optimization

Project Structure

The project is structured in the following fashion:

.
|-- include
|-- script
|-- src
|   |-- driver
|   |-- parser
|   `-- utils
`-- subprojects

7 directories

Dependencies

As previously noted, there are several dependencies in order to build this project:

• meson
• bison
• flex

If not found, the project will pull the dependencies using the spack tool, pulled using git from its repository.

Build

There is a helper Makefile in order to facilitate the build, but it is recommended you instead use meson in order to build the executables.

Start by setting up the build

meson setup build

where build is the chosen build directory (meson only does out-of-source builds, much like cmake). Then, you can build the project using the following command:

meson compile -C build

Tests

There aren’t any, but eventually there will be!
