splang

Simple Programming Language compiler in Haskell

Dependencies

splang can be compiled using GHC 7.4.2 or higher.

Compilation has been tested with the following setups:

• Ubuntu 12.10, GHC 7.4.2
• Mac OSX 10.7.5, GHC 7.4.2

To install the software required to compile splang, use the following commands:

$ cabal update
$ cabal install ansi-terminal
$ cabal install edit-distance
$ cabal install derive

How to use it

For instructions, run:

$ ./run -h

Testing

splang comes with a set of unittests, which can be run using:

./run_tests

Note that the codegen-phase of these tests requires ssm-nogui and LLVM to be installed.

Testing (SSM)

Some tests use the Utrecht Simple Stack Machine without GUI, by Markus Klinik, available from mklinik/ssm-nogui. Please deploy this package in the parent directory of splang, such that the jar-file can be accessed from:

../ssm-nogui/build/ssm-nogui.jar

Testing (LLVM)

Some tests use the LLVM interpreter, compiler or linker. To ensure that you are capable to run all LLVM-related tests, please use the following commands (on Ubuntu 12.10):

$ sudo apt-get install llvm clang 
$ sudo ln -s <path_to_splang>/build/splang /usr/bin/local/splang
