LWCTB

Language Which Compiles To BBJ

Parser

Import the package, and call the parse method to get an AST. Use npm test to test.

CLI (lwctbc)

Note: only --emit-parse and --emit-bin are currently supported. --emit-text is currently unimplemented and will be ignored

lwctbc is a command-line interface for the LWCTB compiler. There is currently no automatic setup; you must set up the compiler on your own. Here are instructions for that:

1. Clone this repo.
2. Run npm install -O* to install optional dependencies. Build with npm run build.
3. Create a script lwctbc:

• Windows: node build/cli.js -- %*
• Linux: node build/cli.js -- $*

4. Add it to the PATH for convenience.
5. (Optional, will be guessed if omitted) Set environment variable LWCTBC_PLATFORM to your platform. w or windows for Windows, l or linux for Linux. If you want to use MinGW with LWCTB, set your platform to Linux.
6. Set up the standard library: set environment variable LWCTBC_STD_DIR to the lwctbc-std directory in this repo. Alternatively, you can choose a different stdlib (this is useful if you are developing LWCTB)
7. Profit.

* TODO: is that correct?

CI tests "cannot write to build/grammar.js"
