🚀 custom-compiler-c - Simple Compiler for Learning

🌟 Overview

custom-compiler-c is a compiler built from scratch in C using Flex and Bison. It performs lexical and syntax analysis, generating Intermediate Code known as Three-Address Code or Quadruples. This software helps users understand compiler construction concepts while providing a hands-on experience.

🥇 Key Features

• Understand the basics of compiler construction.
• Perform lexical analysis with Flex.
• Conduct syntax analysis using Bison.
• Generate Intermediate Code with backpatching logic.
• Explore symbol tables for variable management.

🔍 Understanding Key Concepts

Here are a few important concepts you will encounter while using the custom-compiler-c:

• Lexical Analysis: This phase breaks down the source code into tokens.
• Syntax Analysis: In this phase, the structure of the code is verified against the grammar rules.
• Intermediate Code Generation: This step produces a representation of the source code that is easier to manipulate for further processing.
• Backpatching: This technique allows for the easy referencing of labels and addresses during code generation.
• Symbol Table: A data structure used to store information about identifiers (like variables and functions).

🛠️ Troubleshooting

If you run into issues while using custom-compiler-c, consider these common solutions:

• Error Messages: Pay close attention to error messages. They usually indicate what went wrong in the code.
• Unsupported Syntax: Make sure your source code complies with C syntax rules.
• Permissions: If you cannot run the executable, check your system's permissions and ensure you have the necessary rights.
• Dependencies: Ensure that Flex and Bison are installed if required.
