bfc

bfc is a small, fast, self-contained, optimizing Brainfuck compiler for Linux on Intel x86-64.

Also included are several interpreters in various states of sophistication that document my progress as I was writing this, from the simplest approach to an optimizing JIT compiler.

Its pretty easy to retarget the compiler, it just means redoing half the work. The compiler itself is platform agnostic.

Building

Build dependencies: a C99 compiler
Runtime dependencies: Linux

$ git clone https://github.com/pjanouch/bfc.git
$ cd bfc
$ make

To obtain dumps of the intermediate representation, compile with -DDEBUG:

$ make CPPFLAGS=-DDEBUG

Usage

./bfc-amd64-linux [INPUT-FILE] [OUTPUT-FILE]

When no input file is specified, standard input is used. Similarly, the default output filename is a.out. After the compilation, the resulting file can be run on the target platform.
