README
bfcc
A Brainfuck interpreter, transpiler and inspector written in Rust
Usage
Installation
You can install the newest published version of the binary by running:
cargo install bfcc
Commands
bfcc transpile- a Brainfuck to C optimizing transpilerbfcc run- a Brainfuck interpreterbfcc spy- a runtime inspector and soon to be debugger
Optimization
During transpilation the AST gets converted into an intermediary representation that gets optimized in multiple passes.
Although I haven't tested these optimizations enough to provide any sort of guarantee, these optimizations all seem to generate functionally equivalent programs.
Implementation status
| Strategy | File | |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ | Fusing increment/decrement commands | fuse_add.rs |
| ✅ | Fusing movements | fuse_movements.rs |
| ✅ | Deferring movements | defer_movements.rs |
| ✅ | Unrolling zero/clear loops | unroll_zero_loops.rs |
| Unrolling copy loops | ||
| Unrolling multiplication loops |
All transforms can be found under src/transpiler/transforms

Todo
- Start implementing optimizations
- Implement breakpoints, single stepping and register peeking in debugger
- Add a command that generates LLVM IR, and compiles to a binary
