# dennis: Simple Self-Compiling C Compiler
dennis is a simple, self-compiling C compiler designed to work on x86_64 machines. 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.
## Features
- Self-compiling: dennis is capable of compiling its own source code, making it self-contained and self-replicating.
- C language support: It supports a subset of the C programming language, allowing you to write and compile C programs.
- x86_64 compatibility: dennis is specifically designed to work on machines with the x86_64 architecture, ensuring compatibility with modern Linux systems.
- Simple and lightweight: dennis aims to be a minimalistic and straightforward C compiler, providing essential functionalities without unnecessary complexities.
- Command-line interface: You can interact with dennis through a command-line interface, making it convenient to compile and run C programs.
## Getting Started
To use dennis on your Linux machine, follow these steps:
1. Clone the dennis repository to your local machine:
```
git clone https://github.com/lvntky/dennis.git
```
2. Change to the dennis directory and build from source:
```
cd dennis
cmake ./
make
```
3. Once the compilation process is complete, you can use dennis to compile C programs:
```
$ ./dennis source_file.c -o output_file
```
## Example
Consider a simple C program named `hello.c`:
```c
#include
int main() {
printf("Hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}
```
To compile this program using dennis, run the following command:
```
$ ./dennis hello.c -o hello
```
This will generate an executable file named hello. To execute the compiled program, use the following command:
```
$ ./hello
```
The output should be:
```
Hello, world!
```
