 a brainfuck interpreter featuring an endless tape in both directions

----------------------------------------------------------------------

etbi can interpret brainfuck source files with an endless tape of

cells with the size of a char, initially set to 0. Use it with `etbi

FILE', or run one of the built-in examples with `etbi -e NAME'. You

can always get help with `etbi --help'.

etbi also features an interactive REPL-like (Read Eval Print Loop)

mode, which you can access using `etbi -i'. In the interactive mode

you can easily test snippets of brainfuck code, after which the new

state of the tape is shown for easy debugging. The interactive mode

features a few other modes, which you can see by typing `!help'.

etbi implements a few simple optimizations:

- Movement contraction: multiple movement instructions following

  each other are added together to one instruction with an argument.

- Alteration contraction: multiple alteration instructions following

  each other are added together to one instruction with an argument.

- Clear loop optimization: loops which can only end with the current

  cell ending up empty such as '[-]' are converted to a single clear

  instruction which sets the current cell to 0.

- Scan loop optimization: loops which are scanning all cells in a

  direction until they find one set to 0, such as '[>]' are converted

  to a single instruction which uses memchr or memrchr to find one

  faster.

To install etbi simply run `./configure && make && sudo make install'.
