Write A C Interpreter | Awesome Repository

This 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 table.

Features

C Interpreters - Builds a working interpreter for the C programming language that parses and executes source code directly without compilation.
Recursive Descent Parsers - Parses source code by walking through grammar rules using mutually recursive functions.
Interpreter Symbol Tables - Manages variable scopes and memory allocation using a runtime symbol table that supports nested scopes and lookup.
Interpreter Memory Managers - Handles variable storage and scope lifecycle dynamically during program execution without a separate compilation step.
