An unoptimized Brainfuck optimizing compiler and evaluator.
HBF can compile standard Brainfuck code into an optimized Intermediate Representation (IR). This IR can later be executed for faster Brainfuck program evaluation.
Use your preferred method for installing HBF from Hackage. If you prefer to build from source you can use cabal.
Let's say you have a Brainfuck program in the file mandelbrot.bf, for example,
you can get one here
You can compile the program to the Intermediate Representation using the hbfc executable provided by this project:
hbfc mandelbrot.bf
That will create a file mandelbrot.bfc in the same directory. If you want the output in a different
path you cane use --output option to hbfc
Now, you can run the compiled program:
hbf mandelbrot.bfc
and get something like:
There are several options to both the compiler and the evaluator, to modify levels of optimization, output and others. Try
--help to learn more.
HBF has heavily documented code. You can read the documentation on Hackage.
All the optimizations are implemented in the compiler,
for an example, you can look at the documentation for
mulOpt.
