MiniPL interpreter

Course project for the University of Helsinki course Compilers.

This project is an interpreter for a small toy language called MiniPL. The interpreter was implemented in C++. It performs all the main phases of interpretation: scanning, parsing, semantic analysis (including type checking), and execution. Documentation can be found in the file doc/report.pdf.

Dependencies

The project is built with CMake and tested with GoogleTest.

CMake can be installed on Ubuntu with:

sudo apt install cmake

GoogleTest should be included in the folder libraries to enable testing. It has been added as a submodule to the project.

To clone GoogleTest along with this project, use

git clone --recursive https://github.com/siiruli/MiniPL-interpreter

or if you already cloned the repository, use

git submodule update --init

to add the submodule.
