Rust Compiler for CS152: Compiler Design at UCR

This repository contains a custom handwritten compiler written in Rust as part of the Compiler Design course (CS152) at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). This project is heavily based on the repository of my instructor, which can be found here.

Overview

The goal of this project is to design and implement a simple compiler from scratch using the Rust programming language. This includes the development of a lexer, parser and semantic analyzer for a subset of a hypothetical programming language.

Features

• Lexer: Tokenizes the input source code into meaningful symbols.
• Parser: Constructs a syntax tree from the tokens provided by the lexer.
• Semantic Analysis: Ensures the syntax tree adheres to the language's semantic rules.
• Code Generation: Translates the syntax tree into an intermediate representation.

Repository Structure

• src/
  • interpreter.rs: Contains the implementation of the final-code generator from intermediate code.
  • main.rs: The main entry point of the compiler.
• examples/: Example source codes to be compiled using this compiler.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Rust installed on your system. If not, you can download and install it from rust-lang.org.

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/F-Fer/UCR-cs152-Compiler-Design-Rust-Compiler.git
cd UCR-cs152-Compiler-Design-Rust-Compiler

Usage

To compile a source file, use the following command:

  cargo run <source_file>

For example:

  cargo run ./examples/nested_loop.tt
