Spider

C++ Generation Language

Requirements

• make
• g++
• flex
• bison

Building

Enter the main project directory and run the make command.

Generating C++ Programs

To start generating C++ programs, you will have to use the binaries generated by make. The binaries are called spider and web.

Web

• The Lexer, Parser, and AST tool.
• cat files or echo text, pipe (|) it into spider, and redirect (>) the output to a file.

Spider

• spider The tool for interfacing with the spider binary.
• Arguments
  • -c Clean files after compiling a binary.
  • -g Specify a non-default C++ generated file (sp.out.cpp by default)
  • -o Specify a non-default binary to generate from the C++ file (a.out by default)
  • -r Run the generated binary after compiling.

Examples

1. spider <file>.sp
   • Generates a C++ file with a default name.
2. spider <file>.sp -g Example.cpp
   • Generates a C++ file called Example.cpp.
3. spider <file>.sp -c -o Example
   • Generates a binary called Example and cleans the intermediate files.
4. spider <file>.sp -o Example -r
   • Generates a binary called Example and runs it.
