A tiny Proof-of-Concept C compiler written purely in JavaScript.
It's been a while that I learned JS and it has worked for me in many different scenarios.
I actually learned JS while analyzing a piece of malware written in JS. Then I got really interested.
I was always curious if I can write a compiler; a tiny one.
The funny part was writing it in JS :D

Parts of this project is derived from James Kyle talk at EmberConf 2016 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tar4WgAfMr4).
I appreciate his effort to make this concept fairly easy to understand.
He made a Lisp Compiler converting Lisp syntax to JS.
I want to convert C to ASM.

The parts below are almost complete:
  1. tokenizer.js
  2. parser.js
  3. traverser.js
  4. processor.js

To be completed:

  1. verifier.js
  2. codeGenerator.js

State of the project:

What can be compiled:
  • Function Definitions
  • Integer Variable Assignments
  • Char variable Assignments (i.e. char my_name[] = "Arash")
  • Increments (var++)
  • Additions and Subtraction
  • Global Variables
  • Return Statement
  • Ifs Only (not nested, not if/elseif/else) Limited Condition support currently
  • Function Calls with integer arguments
What can be parsed into the AST:
  • Every legit character in C syntax
  • Everything is grouped and parsed in a meaningful way
  • Current groupings are "GlobalStatements" and "Functions".
  • Inside GlobalStatements, there are Macros (Only #include for now :p), global varibales and structs.
What's missing from the parser:

typedef, define, ..., a lot!

Usage in browser console (remember to replace the new-lines with the actual \n while copy pasting this):
initGenerate(processor(transformer(parser(tokenizer("

void test_void(void){

    return;

int test_int_ret(int a, int b){
    a++;
    b++;
    char my_name[] = \"Arash\";
    return a;
}

int main(){
    char greet[] = \"hello\n\";
    int v = 1;
    int f = 8;

    v++;
    f++;

    int k = -4 - 3 + 5 - 7 - 8 + 2 - 32;

    int e = v;

    test(1,2);

    if(v == 2) {
        int y = 5;
        y++;
    }

    if(k == 35) {
        int p = 55 + 34;
    }

return 1;
}

To test the compiler code:
  1. Copy the output into a file, let's say compiler_test.s

  2. generate the binary using GCC

     gcc compiler_test.s -o compiler_test  
    
  3. Run the binary
