It is implemented entirely in the C programming language, allowing it to compile its own source code. With dennis, you can compile and run C programs on any Linux machine supporting x86_64 architecture.\n\n## Features\n\n- Self-compiling: dennis is capable of compiling its own source code, making it self-contained and self-replicating.\n- C language support: It supports a subset of the C programming language, allowing you to write and compile C programs.\n- x86_64 compatibility: dennis is specifically designed to work on machines with the x86_64 architecture, ensuring compatibility with modern Linux systems.\n- Simple and lightweight: dennis aims to be a minimalistic and straightforward C compiler, providing essential functionalities without unnecessary complexities.\n- Command-line interface: You can interact with dennis through a command-line interface, making it convenient to compile and run C programs.\n\n## Getting Started\n\nTo use dennis on your Linux machine, follow these steps:\n\n1. Clone the dennis repository to your local machine:\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/lvntky/dennis.git\n```\n2. Change to the dennis directory and build from source:\n```\ncd dennis\ncmake ./\nmake\n```\n3. Once the compilation process is complete, you can use dennis to compile C programs:\n```\n$ ./dennis source_file.c -o output_file\n```\n\n## Example\n\nConsider a simple C program named `hello.c`:\n\n```c\n#include \u003cstdio.h\u003e\n\nint main() {\n    printf(\"Hello, world!\\n\");\n    return 0;\n}\n```\n\nTo compile this program using dennis, run the following command:\n\n```\n$ ./dennis hello.c -o hello\n```\n\nThis will generate an executable file named hello. To execute the compiled program, use the following command:\n\n```\n$ ./hello\n```\n\nThe output should be:\n\n```\nHello, world!\n```\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions to dennis are welcome! If you want to contribute to the project, please follow these guidelines:\n1. Fork the repository on GitHub.\n2. Create a new branch with a descriptive name for your feature or bug fix.\n3. Make your changes and commit them with clear messages.\n4. Push your changes to your forked repository.\n5. Submit a pull request, explaining the purpose and changes of your contribution.\n\n## License\n\ndennis is licensed under the MIT License. Feel free to use, modify, and distribute it according to the terms of the license.\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\ndennis is inspired by various open-source C compilers and the passion of the programming community. I would like to express my gratitude to all the contributors and maintainers of the projects that have influenced dennis. And also, to Dennis Ritchie ofcourse...\n\n## Contact\n\nIf you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback regarding dennis, please contact the project maintainer at leventkayadev@gmail.com \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flvntky%2Fdennis","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flvntky%2Fdennis","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flvntky%2Fdennis/lists"}
