Building, Testing & Compiling

Building

To build the Little compiler, simply run:

make

Note: This will generate a binary file in the bin directory called little.

Testing

The test cases can be run with the --test flag:

bin/little --test

Note: They do not they all possible cases, but most of them are covered.

Compiling

To compile a file, use the generated binary from the build step:

bin/little test_file.lil

Note: This will generate another binary in the bin directory called a.
