Try it out

You can play around with the language in the CScript Editor.

Features

• Stack-based intermediate-language
• Memory-safety
• Fast compilation times
• Strict type-checking
• Support for struct, array and 32-bit aligned primitive types — uint, int, and float
• Feature-rich, web-based editor

Components

CScript is comprised of two components — the compiler and the interpreter.

Compiler

The compiler is responsible for converting the C-like syntax to an intermediate language.

Interpreter

The interpreter is responsible for executing the intermediate language that is emitted by the compiler.

Building and Testing

Note: Before building or testing, make sure you have Node installed.

Building

To build the project:

1. Type npm i
2. Type npm run build

After the build process completes, the build/ directory will contain all the compiled JavaScript files and the build/editor/ directory will contain the web-packed compiler and interpreter JavaScript modules.

Testing

To run the tests for the project:

1. Type npm i
2. Type npm test

Limitations

Currently, CScript has two limitations:

1. The inability to move structs by value across function calls.
2. The inability to move arrays by value across function calls.

The consequence is that struct and array types act as global static variables within functions.
