bfc (*.bfe)

An extension of a language that shall not be named

Requires:

1. cxxopts -> v2.2.1
2. antlr4

HelloWorld.bfe

-[-7>+<]>-.-[->+5<]>++.+7..+3.[-3>+<]>-5.--[->+4<]>-.-8.+3.-6.-8.

Usage

./bfc -h #Help
./bfc prog.bfe #Execute
./bfc prog.bfe -t #Translate file to bf

Setup oddities

1. Copy antlr4's cpp libs to ./libs/antlr4. (Please take care that the include folder points straight to the files not to antlr-runtime)
2. Copy antlr-4.8-complete.jar to ./thirdparty/antlr.
3. Generate parsers to ./libs/generated or use VSCode with the ANTLR extension.

Todo (Tentative)

• Grammar
  • Number shorthand
  • Loop statements
  • Shorthand segments
• Processing
  • Translate to bf
  • Execute results

Syntax

Basic

,. IO
<> Address manipulation
+- Value manipulation
