You can clone the repository from a terminal using: \begin{lstlisting} git clone https://github.com/Limvot/kraken.git \end{lstlisting} Once you have the repository, run the following commands: \begin{lstlisting} mkdir build %Create a build directory cd build cmake .. %Requires cmake to build the compiler make %Create the compiler executable \end{lstlisting} This will create a kraken executable, which is how we will call the compiler. Kraken supports several ways of invoking the compiler. These include: \begin{lstlisting} kraken source.krak kraken source.krak outputExe kraken grammarFile.kgm source.krak outputExe \end{lstlisting} The grammar file is a file specific to the compiler, and should be included in the github repository. When you run the compile command, a new directory with the name of the outputExe you specified will be created. In this directory is a shell script, which will compile the created C file into a binary executable. This binary exectuable can then be run as a normal C executable. %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION Variables %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Variables} \label{sec:var} Kraken has automatic type deduction. This is sort of like the duck typing of Python. The difference is that variables cannot change types. In this way, it is much more like an implicit "auto" keyword in C++. Unlike C++, semicolons are optional after declarations. \subsection{Variable Declaration} \begin{lstlisting}[language=C++] var A: int; //A is unitialized int var B = 1; //B is integer var C = 2.0; //C is double var D: float = 3.14 //D is double \end{lstlisting} \subsection{Primitive Types} The primitive types found in kraken are: \begin{enumerate} \item int \item float \item double \item char \item bool \item void \end{enumerate} %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION 2: Functions %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Functions} \begin{lstlisting}[language=C++] fun FunctionName(arg1 : arg1_type, arg2 : arg2_type) : returnType { var result = arg1 + arg2; return result; } \end{lstlisting} Functions are declared using the {\bf{fun}} keyword. If you pass in variables as shown, there will be passed by value, not by reference. Therefore if you pass a variable in, it will not be modified outside the function. %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION I/O %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Input and Output} In order to print to a terminal or file, the {\bf{io}} library must be imported. There are a few different functions you can use to print to the terminal. The print() function will print out to the terminal without a newline character. Like java, there is a println() function that will print whatever you pass in, as well as a newline. There are also functions that can print colors in a unix terminal. The color will continue when you print until you call the function Reset(). \begin{enumerate} \item {\color{red}{BoldRed()}} \item {\color{green}{BoldGreen()}} \item {\color{yellow}{BoldYellow()}} \item {\color{blue}{BoldBlue()}} \item {\color{magenta}{BoldMagneta()}} \item {\color{cyan}{BoldCyan()}} \end{enumerate} \begin{lstlisting}[language=C++] io::print(3.2); //print without a newline character io::println(varA); //print variable A with a newline character io::BoldRed(); io::println("This line is printed Red"); io::Reset(); io::println("This line is printed black"); \end{lstlisting} You can also use kraken to read and write to files. The functions are as follows: \begin{lstlisting}[language=C++] //returns true if file exists var ifExists = io::file_exists("/usr/bin/clang"); //read file into string var fileString = io::read_file("~/Documents/file.txt"); //write a string to the file io::write_file("/",SteamString); //read file into vector of chars var charVec = io::read_file_binary("~/Documents/file2.txt"); //write a vector of chars to a file io::write_file_binary("/",md5checkSum); \end{lstlisting} %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION Memory Management %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Memory Management} \subsection{Pointers} \subsection{References} \subsection{Dynamic Memory Allocation} %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION Classes %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Classes} \subsection{Constructors} \subsection{Operator Overloading} \subsection{Inheritance} %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION Templates %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Templates} Section T %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION Standard Library %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Standard Library} \subsection{Import Statements} \subsection{Vector} \subsection{String} \subsection{Regex} \subsection{Util} \subsection{Data Structures} \subsubsection{Stack} \subsubsection{Queue} \subsubsection{Set} \subsubsection{Map} %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION Understanding Kraken Errors %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{Understanding Kraken Errors} Section error %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % SECTION C Passthrough %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \section{C Passthrough} \end{document}
