KythiraC is an advanced C compiler project inspired by the Greek island of Kythira.

Project Name: AetherC

Description

AetherC is a comprehensive C compiler project aimed at providing a robust toolchain for compiling C code into optimized NASM assembly language. The project includes modules for tokenization, parsing, semantic analysis, code generation, semantic validation, and preprocessing.

Features

• Lexer for tokenization of source code.
• Parser for constructing Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
• Resolver for semantic analysis and symbol table generation.
• Code generator for NASM assembly output.
• Semantic validator for ensuring code correctness.
• Preprocessor for handling directives and macros.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/AetherC.git
   cd AetherC

2. Build the project:

   make build

3. Run tests (optional):

   make test

Usage

1. Compile C code:

   ./aetherc source_file.c -o output_file.asm

2. Run generated assembly code (example using NASM and GCC):

   nasm -f elf64 -o output_file.o output_file.asm
   gcc -o executable_name output_file.o
   ./executable_name
