This is the source code for tonyc, a compiler for the language Tony, implemented for Compilers Course, 8th Semester, National Technical University of Athens.
Author: Michalis Kokologiannakis. Course info and details: http://courses.softlab.ntua.gr/compilers/2015a/
This program is distributed under the GPL, version 3 or later. Please see the COPYING file for details.
In order to use the tool, you need the following programs:
-
OCaml and ocamlbuild
Download the latest release from the official website, or from your package manager.
-
[Optional] dosbox
Only if you want to run the .asm files in a Unix-like environment.
-
Download tonyc's sources or clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/michalis-/tonyc.git -
For a default build:
make
-
If you just want to generate the assembly files, use:
./tonyc <your-file> -
Alternatively, if you just want to execute a .tony file, use:
./run.sh <your-file>This action requires a working dosbox installation.
Some features of the Tony language are:
- Simple structure and syntax of statements
- All basic data types including booleans, characters, integers, one dimensional arrays and lists
- Simple functions, by value or by reference parameter passing with left-to-right evaluation.
- Pascal-like variable scope
- A small standard library of functions
- Simple code optimizations
- Dynamic memory allocation
- Garbage Collection
- The quad numbering in intermediate code output is not always increasing. There may be some swapped quads. This is done in order to preserve the evaluation order.
- Garbage collector does not work well with derived pointers.
- Full language specifications can be found at the course's site (in Greek).
