WHAT IS bananaBF? A brainfuck interpreter.

BUILDING On UNIX simply type (you need to authenticate you, this installation installs to /usr/bin, I provide a make clean, too!): $make$ sudo make install

On other operating systems use any standard C compiler. Build the banana binary from the main.c

USAGE $ banana [-d] [brainfuck code file]

Only the brainfuck operators (< > , . [ ] - +) will be interpreted. "-d" enables debugging information.

WHAT IS BRAINFUCK? Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language that only uses eight characters: + - < > [ ] , . Brainfuck is Turing complete and extreme minimalistic.

WHY IS IT CALLED banana? While I came up with the idea of writing a brainfuck interpreter, i ate a banana. It starts with the same letter -> win!

LIMITS The number of cells is limited to the memory of your computer. Only needed memory is allocated. Each cell can contain a value in standard integer size. This depends of your OS but is probably 2E32-1.The number of commands is limited by a buffersize defined in prepro- cessor. Default is 1024 characters. If you have a bigger sourcefile, you need to change the constant and recompile. You can only nest 2E32-1 loops, again, this is an integer sized counter.
