bfc === About ----- I wrote a brainfuck to x86/Linux assembly compiler, bfc, in Python. Brainfuck is an esoteric language that, though extraordinarily minimal, manages to be Turing complete. Bfc comes in two parts: a command-line interface and the actual compiler. The compiler, like the language, is rather simple. It has assembly templates for each brainfuck instruction that it concatenates then inserts into a larger program template. Currently it performs no optimizations but it could conceivably fold the various increment and decrement instructions into a single assembly instruction. Examples -------- For fun, here are a few examples of brainfuck doing moderately useful things: cat: pipes input to output ,[.,] hello world: prints 'Hello World!\n' (from Wikipedia) ++++++++++ set cell zero to 10 [ >+++++++>++++++++++>+++>+<<<<- ] loop to set the next four cells to 70,100,30,10 >++. 'H' >+. 'e' +++++++. 'l' . 'l' +++. 'o' >++. space <<+++++++++++++++. 'W' >. 'o' +++. 'r' ------. 'l' --------. 'd' >+. '!' >. newline add: adds two single-digit numbers (from Wikipedia) ,>++++++[<-------->-],[<+>-]<. Usage ----- To transform a Brainfuck file (e.g., cat) into a working program: > echo ,[.,] > mycat.bf > python bfc.py -o mycat.s mycat.bf > as -o mycat.o mycat.s > ld -s -o mycat mycat.o > ./mycat
