Pure python compiler infrastructure
Project description
The ppci project is a compiler, assembler, linker and build-system written entirely in python. The project contains everything from language front-end to code generation. It contains a front-end for the c3 language, can optimize this code and generate ARM-code.
The project contains the following:
Language front-ends: Brainfuck, c3
Various code optimizers
Backends for various platforms: ARM, Thumb, Python
Assembler
Linker
Warning: This project is in alpha state and not read for production use!
Quick guide
ppci can be installed using pip:
$ pip install ppci
To invoke the builder and compile the snake demo, use the following:
$ ppci-build.py -f examples/build.xml
If the compilation was succesful, the snake demo compiled into ‘examples/snake.bin’. This is a binary file with ARM-code which can be run in qemu as follows:
$ qemu-system-arm -M lm3s6965evb -kernel snake.bin -serial stdio
This runs the snake demo on an emulated lm3s demo board and displays the game to the console.
Instead of using the usage, you can also use the api.
