A simple compiler built for the compiler class at university implementing of a subset of Go language. The resulting output is a file with MIPS instructions

The following Go language commands are implemented in this AST generator:

• Variable declarations (a:=0,a=1)
• Variable incrementation (++,--,+=,-=)
• Boolean and Integer values
• Expressions (a=b+c+2, flag = true, true == false, etc.)
• If/else command
• For (3 args and 1 arg)
• fmt.Print() function
• fmt.Scan() function
• Function declarations
• Function calls

Compiling

Make sure you have the following dependecies: make, flex and bison. Afterwards running make all will generate a file compiler.o which can be used like so:

./compiler.o < Examples/example1.go
./compiler.o < Examples/example2.go
./compiler.o < Examples/example3.go

The compiler will output the generated assembly to the standard output http://courses.missouristate.edu/kenvollmar/mars/

Running the compiled assembly

You can run the output on any MIPS emulator of your choosing. I recommend MARS.
