It would be interesting to apply this to AI generated programs (http://www.primaryobjects.com/CMS/Article163 http://www.primaryobjects.com/CMS/Article163)
- matslina 12y agoImplementations are available in the repository linked to from the article. Not quite "ready for production", but hopefully a useful starting point. https://github.com/matslina/bfoptimization https://github.com/matslina/bfoptimization
- primaryobjects 12y agoThanks, I see it. The translation code is inside ir.py. So you can call ir_to_c(bf_to_ir("+++.")) to do the conversion. Here is the code to convert BF to C, in case anyone else is interested https://gist.github.com/primaryobjects/0ba06f1f6f0d3e984d89 https://gist.github.com/primaryobjects/0ba06f1f6f0d3e984d89 Here it is running the converted C code https://ideone.com/z16KPJ https://ideone.com/z16KPJ Very cool.
- rdc12 12y agoIt is pretty trival to write a BF compiler to C, each instruction has a clear C equivilant and the parser is dead simple to write as well. It is less then an hours work to write a naive BF->C compiler
