Flit

A compiler for the Flit programming language.

Features

• Lexical Analysis: Breaks down Flit code into meaningful tokens (keywords, identifiers, numbers, etc.).
• Syntax Analysis: Constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) representing the structure of Flit programs.
• Code Generation: Translates the AST into x86-64 assembly code.
• Memory Allocator: Allocates memory linearly in previous reserved chunk
• Project Workflow: Tokenize => Parse => Generate Assembly Code
• Operator Precedence: PEMDAS precedence for arithmetic operations implemented.

Usage Instructions

Prerequisites

• NASM (Assembler)
• LD (Linker)
• A suitable operating system (Linux for now)

Steps

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Meet7834/Flit.git

2. Navigate to directory:

   cd flit

3. Compile the Flit program:

   mkdir build
   cmake -S . -B build
   cmake --build build 

4. Execute the program with:

   ./build/flit ./my_program.flt

Example Flit Program

• For Sample code see grammar.md or see allFeatures.flt or test.flt
