Welcome to the Compiler! This tool helps you convert simple programming languages into executable files. It includes a lexical analyzer, a parser, and more, making it perfect for beginners and experienced users alike.
The Compiler is designed to process MiniLang programs. It performs multiple tasks to transform your code into runnable machine language. Here’s a quick overview of its stages:
- Lexical Analyzer: This stage reads the code and breaks it down into tokens.
- Parser: The parser checks the tokens for syntax errors and builds an abstract syntax tree (AST).
- Semantic Analyzer: This stage verifies the meaning of the code using symbol tables and control-flow checks.
- MIPS Code Generator: Finally, it creates assembly code for the MIPS architecture.
To run the Compiler, your computer needs to meet the following requirements:
- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or a recent version of Linux
- RAM: At least 4 GB
- Processor: Any modern multi-core processor
- Disk Space: At least 100 MB free
