Akarin - Whitespace Transpiler

Currently under development.

Akarin is a transpiler from C-like procedural language to Whitespace.

Build and run

make release
sudo make install # ofcourse, you can use ./bin/akarin instead without installation

akarin samples/00_hello.txt
akarin samples/00_hello.txt -s
akarin samples/00_hello.txt -p

Output mode

Whitespace code is beautiful but hard to see a little. Some other (visible) output modes are available.

Symbolic (-s) output:

Transpiles into Whitespace but uses S, T and L characters.

$ akarin -s samples/00_hello.txt
LSTSLLLLLSSSLSSSSLTLTTSSSTLTLTTSSSSLTTTSSSTLTTTTSSSTLSTSSSTSTSLTLSSSSSSLLTL

Pseudo-code (-p) output:

Transpiles into pseudo-mnemonic code. Each informal mnemonic represents each Whitespace instruction.

$ akarin -p samples/00_hello.txt
        CALL L0
        HALT
L0:
        PUSH 0
        GETI
        PUSH 1
        GETI
        PUSH 0
        LOAD
        PUSH 1
        LOAD
        ADD
        PUTI
        PUSH 10
        PUTC
        PUSH 0
        RET

Syntax tree (-d) output:

Not to transpile into Whitespace but to show parsed (abstract) syntax tree.

$ akarin -d samples/00_hello.txt
