🌊 Mar

Note:

I am building this project while I'm learning about how compilers work, also while Im learning C++, I have tried many times to make this but I ended up deleting it, this time there is not going back. Wecolme to my journey!

Mar will be a static, compiled, high-level language inspired by Swift

What I am doing now?

Learning about how to implement static type cheking, and how to properly translate the AST into some kind of intermediate code representation like three address code, oh and also I am researching into creating a testing framework in order to maintain stability on the compiler

Get mar compiler running:

Download via HTTPS:

$ git clone https://github.com/gabeiglio/Mar.git

After cloning the compiler, we want to create the lib folder in the root directory in order to install googletest

$ mkdir lib
$ cd lib
$ git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git

then after that is done, we go to the root folder againg and run these commands:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make all

There are two commands to run the compiler either:

• REPL: ./build/src/mar_run -repl
• Mar file: ./build/src/mar_run PATH_TO_FILE
