Goal: A book written in working code and markdown document that describes how computer system works, including architecture, assemblers, compilers, and operating systems.
Read it here.
Planned Features:
- Modularized. File based modules. No circular dependency (not only on packages, but also on files). A reader can always read the project a file by a file, either from bottom to top, or from top to bottom.
- Small files. Each file is shorter than 300 lines of code.
- Tested and Documented. Each file (will) come with test cases, examples, and markdown description.
- Real. The simulation (will) work like a real computer.
- Global
VarDecl
- Type conversion
- Basic built-in panic
- Pointer
- Array and slice
- String
- Struct
- Fields and methods
- Interface
- Big number constants
- Unused variable check
- Unreachable code check
- Missing return check
- Break, continue with labels
Small things:
- VarDecl ast printing
And more...
- Improve code reading website
- Complete consts in asm8
- Clean up the symbol linking in asm8 a little bit
- Package building system that tracks timestamps
- Online filesystem and online editing
- Code formatter
