Brainfuck compiler

Compiles Brainfuck source code into executable format.

(Actually, more like a brainfuck-to-C translator that invokes GCC to get an executable)

Two sample brainfuck programs, hello_world.b (prints "Hello world!" to the terminal), and sierpinski.b (prints a pretty ASCII triangle to the terminal) are provided in this repository.

Install

> make
> sudo make install

Now, you have two new programs installed:

• btoc (reads a brainfuck source file, prints C to stdout)
• bfcc (reads a brainfuck source file, and creates an executable by running btoc and piping it to gcc)

Compile a brainfuck program

If you have GCC and a C standard lib. installed, you can use bfcc to compile brainfuck programs directly into executable format. Here is an example, Using hello_world.b

> bfcc hello_world.b -o hello_world
> ./hello_world

Hello World!

>

Or, if (for some reason) you want to see the C code, you can just run btoc on the brainfuck program yourself

> btoc hello_world.b > hello_world.c
