A Brainf**k <=> C transpiler.
Note the code I write is probably not the prettiest or best practice Go... I'm quite new to this language, hopefully this will improve as this project progresses.
Clone the repo into your Go path. Go to the cloned repo directory and run the makefile.
- Convert from BF to somewhat optimized (but not really) C code
- Optimizations include:
- Peephole optimization
- Duplicate instruction optimization
- Optimizations include:
- Convert from (a subset of) C to BF
- Current C syntax that is supported:
To convert BF to C in command line, for example:
./brainfC -c ./examples/bf_samples/hello_world/hello_world.bfLikewise, to convert C to BF in command line:
./brainfC -b ./examples/c_samples/hello_world/hello_world.cIf you want to interpret the resulting BF code, use something like Beef.
An online demo can be seen here.
If you spot a bug/typo/issue and/or want to contribute, let me know.
Why not?
It was mostly an interesting way to apply what I've learned in compiler design from class (a bunch of what I learned carried over), as well as try to use Go, albeit in a way that was neither really productive or practical.
Bunch of resources/projects I have to give thanks to.
- I referred to the source code of c2bf a lot for the C => component.
- Some BF code samples in the examples directory was sourced from the Brainf**k Wikipedia article.
- Many of the BF algorithms used for converting from C to BF were sourced from the Esolangs wiki for Brainf**k.
- yacc code for C to BF was based on the yacc file from this website, and the lexer was based on this page from the same website.
