Building the interpreter

To build the interpreter and the compiler run make

Running the interpreter

To run with switch/case version of the interpreter:

./bfi --interp BF_FILE

To run with computed goto version of the interpreter:

./bfi --cgoto BF_FILE

To run with the profiler:

./bfi -i -p BF_FILE

Running the compiler AOT

Currently the compiler emits x86_64 assembly. Here are steps to compile and run BF code on x86_64 GNU/Linux machine:

./bfc --aot mandel.bf mandel.asm
nasm -f elf64 -o mandel.o mandel.asm
ld -dynamic-linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -o mandel mandel.o -lc

Running the compiler JIT

To run the JIT compiler:

./bfc --jit mandel.bf
