A small V compiler in V

Why?!

Because I'm bored and want to learn a bit more about compilers

Process

Windows isn't supported yet

Parser

The parser parses the following statements for now:

• FunctionStmt
• ModuleStmt
• FunctionCallStmt
• IfStmt
• CommentStmt
• ImportStmt
• ReturnStmt
• ConstStmt
• DeclareStmt
• StructStmt
• SubtypeStmt

And the following expressions:

• StringExpr
• NumberExpr
• IdentExpr
• CastExpr

Gen

The gen generates like in normal V C code, for now the code isn't completely valid, but this step is reached soon. Examples of C code you can see in /tests folder

Fmt

The fmt tool creates a V file from the ast which got parsed from the original file. It's an other concept of formatation atm. Examples of fmt'd files you can see in /tests folder (with this fileending .v.fmted)

Ast

For now the ast is printed too in the /tests. It's done that anyone can see the structure, so it's not important, just nice :)

Contribution

If you want to contribute please create an extra branch with your changes. Please add a file in /tests with the new feature and be sure that it compiles. Then just create a pull request. Thanks for the help
