Compiler in javascript (v1.1.4)

This is a small, toy compiler that I've written in javascript. It's not meant to be used in production, but rather as a learning tool. I've tried to make it as simple as possible, while still being useful. It's not meant to be a full-featured compiler, but rather a small, simple compiler that can be used to learn about compiler design.

What this compiler can do for now:

• Compile a simple program consisting of only main function that returns an integer
• Support for Logical Negation(!), Unary Minus(-), Bitwise Complement(~) on the integer type is present
• Support for Addition(+), Subtraction(-), Multiplication(*), Division(/) on the integer type is present
• Support for Equal to(==), Not Equal to(!=), Less than(<), Greater than(>), Less than or Equal to(<=), Greater than or Equal to(>=) on the integer type is present

Currently implemented features:

• Lexical analyser: Converts the source code into a list of tokens
• Parser: Converts the list of tokens into an abstract syntax tree
• Code generator: Converts the abstract syntax tree into assembly code

To run this project follow these steps:

• Clone the repository
• Go to the src folder
• Make sure you have node.js installed
• Run node index.js <path_to_your_input_file> to compile your code
• That's it!

Important notes

• This project is still in development, so it's not guaranteed to work. If you find any bugs, please open an issue.
• This project is not meant to be used in production, but rather as a learning tool.
• It does not generate the binary executable, it just generates the assembly code. You need to use gcc/g++ to generate the binary executable.
• To test the compiler against a fixed set of test cases, you can use the sample c programs present in input directory. A script test.py can also be used for running the tests
• To run the tests, go to the src/tests directory and run the compiler.test.py script. This will run all the test cases that are defined in the testdata.json file in the tests directory
• Test programs are inspired by nlsandler
• This compiler generates x64 assembly code in AT&T syntax.
