13,235View on GitHubThis project is a compiler development tutorial that provides a series of guides and exercises for building a complete compiler from scratch. It focuses on the implementation of a structured compilation pipeline to transform high-level source code into executable machine instructions. The project covers the creation of a machine code generator for specific processor architectures and a static analysis framework. This framework includes methodologies for implementing type checking and constant folding to verify logic correctness before the final execution phase. The instructional material enc
This project is a comprehensive educational guide that walks you through building a complete compiler from scratch, covering all the essential stages from lexical analysis and recursive descent parsing to machine code generation.

17,437View on GitHubPHP-Parser is a tool that converts PHP source code into an abstract syntax tree for static analysis and programmatic manipulation. It functions as a parser, a code generator, and a static analysis framework. The project enables the programmatic construction of abstract syntax tree nodes through a fluent interface and provides the ability to transform these trees back into formatted source code. It includes a serializer that exports abstract syntax trees to JSON format and reconstructs them from strings. The toolset covers several capability areas, including namespace resolution, constant exp
This tool provides a robust implementation of lexical analysis, recursive descent parsing, and abstract syntax tree generation, making it a highly effective component for building compilers or static analysis tools for the PHP language.

38,840View on GitHubThe project is a modular compiler infrastructure framework designed for building programming language toolchains, frontends, and backends. It provides a comprehensive suite of reusable libraries and tools that enable developers to transform source code into efficient native executables across diverse hardware architectures and operating systems. At its core, the system utilizes a language-agnostic intermediate representation bitcode, which serves as a unified format for code analysis, optimization, and machine-specific code generation. What distinguishes this framework is its highly decoupled
This is the industry-standard modular infrastructure for building compilers, providing the essential intermediate representation, optimization passes, and code generation backends required to implement a full language toolchain.

4,343View on GitHubThis project is a C language interpreter and a practical implementation of a programming language. It parses and executes C source code directly, removing the requirement for a separate compilation step. The interpreter is designed for self-hosting, meaning it is capable of interpreting its own source code to demonstrate recursive language processing and execution. The system covers the primary stages of language processing, including lexical analysis, recursive descent parsing, and tree-walk interpretation using an abstract syntax tree. It manages memory and scope through a dynamic symbol t
This project provides a practical, hands-on implementation of a C interpreter that covers essential compiler construction stages like lexical analysis, recursive descent parsing, and abstract syntax tree generation, making it a valuable educational resource for learning language implementation.

10,726View on GitHubc4 is a minimalist C compiler and programming tool designed to translate C source code into executable machine code using a small set of functions. It functions as a stripped-down compilation utility focused on a tiny codebase. The project serves as an educational tool for studying the internal mechanics of the compilation process. It implements minimalist C compilation to demonstrate how source files are transformed into low-level binary executables. The compiler utilizes a single-pass compilation model with recursive descent parsing and direct-to-binary emission. It manages the translation
