Compiler Toolkit

An opinionated library to help you build compilers.

Features

• Ast Creation Tools
• Ast Walk functionality built in
• Ast node typing garauntees (ensure that all nodes are well defined)
• Ast nodes having configurable parser patterns (WIP, needs to be more ergonomic)
• Utility decorators for annotation of individual parts of the compilers
• Parser pattern builder
  • unions on patterns (or clause)
  • and clause on patterns
• Parser builder (WIP, needs to be more ergonomic)
• Parser check functions built into patterns to allow automatic syntax error parsing.
• Source error highlighting (fine grained highlights)
• Package and module tree utilities
• Lexing via rply library (and utilities)
• Parser token class builtin

What this does not provide

• This will not do codegen
• This will not give you lexing capabilities outside of making the use of rply's lexer generator more ergonomic
• This will not provide a type system
• This will not teach you how to build a compiler (altho it will certainly aid in the creation of your first one!)
