LLVM C Compiler is an example compiler project for the C programming language, implemented in C++.

This project serves as an educational resource for those interested in learning LLVM, a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies. The LLVM C Compiler project provides a hands-on experience of building a simple C compiler using LLVM, even though the compiler itself is implemented in C++.

• Lexical Analysis: Tokenizes the input C++ source code into tokens such as keywords, identifiers, literals, and operators.
• Parsing: Parses the token stream to generate an abstract syntax tree (AST) representing the syntactic structure of the source code.
• Semantic Analysis: Performs semantic checks to ensure the correctness of the source code, such as type checking and scope resolution.
• Code Generation: Translates the AST into LLVM intermediate representation (IR) code.
• LLVM Integration: Utilizes LLVM libraries and tools for generating and optimizing machine code.

• C, C++: Programming languages used for implementing the compiler.
• LLVM: Compiler infrastructure providing libraries and tools for building compilers.
• Lex & Yacc: Tools for lexical analysis (Lex) and parsing (Yacc).

To use the LLVM C Compiler project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Build the Compiler: Build the compiler using the provided build instructions or scripts.

3. Compile C++ Programs: Use the compiler to compile C++ source code files by passing them as input.

4. Run Compiled Programs: Execute the compiled programs to see the output.

To understand the basics of the project review the code in /include/tinylang directory.
