Precompiler for "MyLittleCompiler"

moulinaie · October 26, 2011

Hello,

I started working again on My Little Compiler. I know that the codes I use are not easy to memorize and to use. But, with so little space in LowRam I couldn't imagine to use a "hig level language" style.

So, I am currently working on a PC program that accepts a kind of high level language mixed with Basic lines and that outputs a whole XB source code to be used with "MyLittleCompiler" (MLC).

For example, here is how you could write the GCD program (PGCD in french):

100 CALL CLEAR::DIM A$(5),S$(5)

$MLC N 110 10 3000 ; line to include all for compilation

1000 INPUT "A=":A

1010 INPUT "B=":B

1030 CALL LINK("PGCD",A,B,C)

1040 PRINT "PGCD=";C

1050 END

$PGCD ; here starts the program that will be converted to MLC codes

GETPARAM 1 A

GETPARAM 2 B

LABEL 1

DIV A B

IF=THEN 2

LET A B

LET B Z

GOTO 1

LABEL 2

PUTPARAM 3 B

$$

$END

After my Precompiler has worked on it, you get this:

(lines 110 to 160 added by $MLC directive)

(lines 3000- are the MLC codes)

100 CALL CLEAR::DIM A$(5),S$(5)

110 CALL INIT::PRINT "LOADING COMPILER..."::CALL LOAD("DSK1.MLCO")

120 RESTORE 3000::READ T$::I=0::If T$="*" THEN 160

130 I=I+1::READ A$(I)::IF A$(I)<>"*" THEN 130

140 A$(I)=""::IF T$="P" THEN CALL LINK("COMPIL",A$()) ELSE CALL LINK("SOUND",A$(),S$())

150 IF SEG$(A$(1),1,2)<>"OK" THEN PRINT T$;" ERROR ";A$(1)::END

160 PRINT "COMPILATION OK!"

1000 INPUT "A=":A

1010 INPUT "B=":B

1030 CALL LINK("PGCD",A,B,C)

1040 PRINT "PGCD=";C

1050 END

3000 DATA P,PGCD

3010 DATA "G1A G2B L1 /AB ?=2 =AB =BZ B1 L2 P3B"

3020 DATA *

3030 DATA *

I'll give you more infos when the program is on line!

Cool! Looking forward seeing how this further develops. So the precompiler runs on the PC. What language is it written in? How do you parse the text-file, etc.

Can you give some more details? ;-)

By the way: did you know that rocky007 wrote a full game using MLC. It's called KABOOM!

In order:

It is written in Pure Basic under Windows. But I only use the "console" with an old fashioned menu with numbers to type in.

The text files is parsed this way:

1) read a line

2) if this line starts with a digit -> then copy it to the destination, it is a BASIC line

3) if the line starts with $ then the precompiler has something to do!

3-a: if it is $MLC it includes the code for loading the compiler and compling (parameters are the desired line numbers)

3-b: if it is $SND these are data for creating a sound

3-c else it is $xxxxxx with a program name and next lines are interpretated as MLC high level codes (with only one instruction per line for now)

Well, that's the whole thing.

No, I didn't know that someone ended a project using MLC! That's the problem with free software for download, there are few people that sends feed back on your work. But I'm really happy to learn that. I'd like to put links on my page to his to show that my compiler is "useable"!!!

Thats for the infos and interest.

This rocks!

moulinaie · October 27, 2011

The PreCompiler is on line !!!

It's a version 1.00, surely not really bug-resistant, but it works!

I wrote a page to present it, you can download it from this page (both in french and english):

Enjoy,

Guillaume.

PS: hi Rocky007: are you the one who told me about the bug in DIVISION? If so : thanks a lot!!

+retroclouds · October 28, 2011

I just checked the source code for Pong! and it looks very impressive.

You should post the pong source code for others to have a look to.

On a sidenote. I want to do something similar for my spectra2 runtime too. Basically a crosscompiler on the PC.

Last year I started working on the language syntax and had a first draft of the scanner (Using goldparser which is great for prototyping: http://www.devincook.com/goldparser/ )

Did not give up on the project, but it's not likely gonna happen in 2012. Barely have TI time and need to finish Tutankham first.

At this time, I'm considering if I would include a small interpreter in spectra2 or if I would make it output pure assembly language.

It can be viewed on my page (with better tabulations) for readability!

that should work here too, see

sub routine
  print "hello world"
  read key
  if val=13 then
     goto newline
  else
     goto newpage
  end if
end sub

To do this you need to put a code tag around your source code as seen below. Just remove the extra space characters between the code tag for it to take effect.

Oohh - this is making me think. I've got something I've wanted to really do in XB that hasn't been possible... Ohhh.... I gotta find a little time.

rocky007 · October 30, 2011

Super great !! it's a lot easier like this, especially to modify a program some months after !

i'm happy the MLC stil alive and progress ! ( i dream of CALL CHAR function, and more labels / variables avalaible )

Super great !! it's a lot easier like this, especially to modify a program some months after !

i'm happy the MLC stil alive and progress ! ( i dream of CALL CHAR function, and more labels / variables avalaible )

Thanks.

Some ideas for now...:

1) more labels: since this new version, labels 0 to 9 are redifinable. So if you used label 0 and that all jumps to it are yet done, you can redefine label 0 later.

But take care of it... The new pseudo-instructions (NDO, FOR) use those labels (starting with L0). I think that label 9 should be always free because this would mean 9 loops nested!

2) more variables: arrays can be used to store large parts of data.

3) call char, yes, why not! the problem is that the string type is not supported by MLC... I'll have to work more... But using a byte array in VDP ram with the correct address of the character could give access to its definition.

4) When you'll have finished rewriting KABOOM, if you want I can add it to my pages (included or with a link).

Guillaume.

This thing is so badly written for a compiler it almost looks like the ultimate challenge to one.

@RXB that looks like it could go right into Wilhelm's, although the embedded math in the IF statements might fail.

ROBOCHASE! Holy carp, I remember the local TIUG having scoring contests for this game. It was one of the first "99er" games I ever typed in, followed by (I believe it was called) "Archeodroid." Having that run in GPL would be pretty neat, but I wonder about the speed of the game.
