minimal-compiler | Experimenting with a simple compiler for x86-64 | Natural Language Processing library

minimal-compiler is a C library typically used in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing applications. minimal-compiler has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

The minimal compiler project is an attempt to make one of the simplest, minimalistic languages that compiles to x86-64 assembly and machine code. Currently, the syntax is inspired by C-code with a little bit of influence from the Duck programming language. It is also modeled after Go and Objective-C to some extent. The features of the language are, at a top level, based around variable declarations and function declarations. Types are provided after names, with a trailing colon and the type name, followed by a semicolon to delimit statements. Functions are defined as they are declared. Multiple source files can be included in a project by using the include keyword and including the source filename. These source files are then treated as if they are all one piece of source code. Functions are composed of either a single statement or a block of statements. Each statement is made up of individual expressions, assignments, conditionals, or loops. If/else statements are supported. In the case of ambiguous else branches in the case of several in-line if statements, each else statement is paired with the outermost if or conditional possible. This is the opposite behavior of most other programming languages. While-loops are currently the only loop supported, out of simplicity. Local variable declarations are allowed. Functions may also return a single variable and may have any number of typed parameters. Recursion is allowed. The program's entry point is the main function. Here is an example of what a function might look like in this language. Initially, the only built in functions are intended to be prints and printi. Here are the function prototypes for each. That is the current goal. The intended platforms are both 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux, with potential support for 32-bit environments as well. Support strongly typed, static first class functions with up and downward Funargs. Maintain a comprehensible stack and memory model. Exist on a level parallel with C. Prevent exceptional runtime behavior.
