bf_compiler

Compiles brainfuck code to LLVM IR, and potentially runs it with McJIT.

Requirements

• Python 3
• llvmlite (install with python3 -m pip install --user llvmlite)

Usage

Place some brainfuck code into a file, and name it what you want. For the sake of simplicity, we'll assume your file is named example.bf.

After installing the requirements, you can choose to:

• Run your brainfuck code directly by running python3 bf_compiler.py --run example.bf.

• Compile your brainfuck to bitcode by running python3 bf_compiler.py --bitcode example.bf, which will emit a example.bc file.

You can compile your LLVM bitcode to machine code by running clang example.bc -o example, which will compile your LLVM bitcode directly to machine code. You may get a warning about a "triple", but don't worry about that. ;)

Thanks To

My friend Zaab1t for giving me the idea and the llvmlite reccomendation.

I made this to get my feet wet with LLVM, and to have fun.
