Braze compiler - for 32 bit x86 architecture. Compiles a subset of C.

To build braze compiler with make run: make clean make

or use the shell script sh build.sh

Unit tests can be built with Visual Studio MSBuild

Braze compiler depends on various gcc, g++ and nasm libraries. These can be install with install_tools.sh or manually from the command line:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential gcc make gcc-multilib g++-multilib nasm

#notes and known errors

Feature list:

1. Local and global variables of primitive type: char, int, short, long, void. R and L values are supported.
2. Function declarations, function prototypes and function calls, all with parameters
3. String support
4. Most operators are implemented, but not logical operators( && and ||) and bitwise operators (>> and <<)
5. if, else if and else statements is supported
6. while loop is supported, break and continue statement do not work

• Init part of the for loop must contain a variable declaration. Condition and loop part must be present.

8. pointer arithmentic is partially supported

Known limitations:

1. No pre processor support, include doesn't work. In order to use Printf, declare the following prototype at the top of the file, and nasm will link it: "int printf(const char *format, ...);"
2. Format specifiers in strings is not supported, example: "test value %d", 10
3. Return keyword is not suppoerted
4. Following controll flow constructs are not supported: do while, goto
5. No structs, typedef or complex types are supported
6. Global variables must be declared before the first function definition
