c-interpreter

December 26, 2018 ยท View on GitHub

This is a small project where I try to make a C minimal interpreter in 10 days.

It's called Patrick's C compiler -> pcc.

Files

  • pcc.c - The source code of pcc.

  • hello.c - A piece of testing C code that outputs Hello World!\n

  • fibonacci.c - A piece of testing C code that outputs fibonacci sequence using recursion.

Usage

gcc -m32 pcc.c -o pcc

-m32 tag is used for 64-bit machines.

./pcc hello.c

Bootstrap

pcc is a interepter that bootstraps. Therefore, feel free to execute commands like :

./pcc pcc.c fibonacci.c

Although it is not recommended since this slows down the program for no reason.

Options

./pcc -s outputs ASM code for VM / Further compiler purposes.

./pcc -d outputs DEBUG information.
