Create a compiler for the C language

Your program should read C source code from a file, and write MIPS assembly to another file.

Program build and execution

Your program should be built using the command:

make bin/c_compiler

The compilation function is invoked using the flag -S, with the source file and output file specified on the command line:

bin/c_compiler -S [source-file.c] -o [dest-file.s]

You can assume that the command-line arguments will always be in this order, and that there will be no spaces in source or destination paths.

Input Format

The input format is the same as for the translator (pre-processed C90).

Output Format

The output format should be MIPS1 assembly code.

It should be possible to assemble and link this code against a C run-time, and have it execute correctly on a MIPS processor as emulated by qemu-mips.
