# calc

Calc is a proof of concept to implement a simple arithmetic language

interpreter with JIT compilation, using either LLVM or a more low-level JIT

based on GNU Lightning.

A fun weekend project, if you ask me!

# Install

You need LLVM and GNU Lightning installed. On Mac OSX:

    $ brew install llvm

Unfortunately the version of Lightning in Homebrew is broken. Download and

install lightning from its [mirror git repository][lightning].

Now:

    $ git clone git://github.com/txus/calc.git calc

    $ cd calc

    $ make

You get the `calc` executable.

## Usage

Using the AST-walking interpreter:

    $ ./calc "3 * (4 + 5)"

Using the LLVM JIT compiler:

    $ ./calc --llvm "3 * (4 + 5)"

Using the lower-level, GNU-lightning based JIT compiler:

    $ ./calc --jit "3 * (4 + 5)"

## Syntax

It's just integers, these operators: `+ - * /`, and parentheses for precedence.
