Compiler 101: From C to Specialized Compilers

An educational project to teach core compiler concepts through incremental building. Start with a minimal C compiler, then advance to specialized compilers (CUDA, Python, CUDA-Q).

Project Goal

Learn compiler design by building one from scratch. Progress through:

  • A minimal C compiler (handling variables, functions, loops, etc.)
  • Specialized compilers for GPU (CUDA), high-level languages (Python), and quantum computing (CUDA-Q).

Prerequisites

  • Tools: GCC/Clang (C compiler), Python 3.8+ (testing framework), Make (build automation).
  • Advanced Modules: CUDA Toolkit (for CUDA compiler), Python development headers (for Python compiler), cuQuantum SDK (for CUDA-Q).

Setup

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/your-username/compiler-101.git
cd compiler-101
