Brainhecc

A compiler for Brain[hecc] programs, written in Rust with Cranelift.

It compiles any valid Brainhecc program into an executable binary.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Cargo/Rust, to install & build the Brainhecc program.
• GCC (or any other linker), required to link Brainheck programs.

Note: to compile Brainhecc programs, any linker may be used, but Brainhecc programs must be linked with the C standard library, otherwise compiled programs won't work.

Setting Up

Cargo can automatically download and build the Brainhecc program:

cargo install brainhecc

brainhecc examples/hello_world.brainhecc hello_world.o # compile the program gcc hello_world.o -o hello_world # link the program with the C standard library ./hello_world # run the program # => Hello, world!
