FromZero / Language

README in Russian

FromZero/Language is a package consisting of a JIT compiler and a virtual machine for the FZL language.

Features

At the moment, the language has the following capabilities:

• Builtin printline function for printing argument to stdout
• String and numeric literals
• Arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulo, power

File extensions

Standard file extensions:

• .fzs - source code
• .fzb - compiled binary file

Building

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://git.samsonium.dev/samsonium/fz-lang.git
2. Build: make build

After this, a "build" directory will appear in the project root. It will contain two executable files:

• fzc - a compiler
• fz - virtual machine

Both executables have usage help that can be displayed using --help flag (or -h).

Development guideline

You need a code editor with Clang LSP support because of .clang-format file in the project root. This file provides set up codestyle rules.

There is two targets in Makefile for debugging purposes: build-c for the compiler and build-vm for the VM. Each target can be called with FILE variable. For example:

$ make debug-c FILE=exl/hw.fzs
