BF Programming Language Interpreter 🖥️

A fully exhaustive interpreter for BF, an esoteric programming language, implemented in Rust. This interpreter comes with various optimizations, including zero optimization, caching, and instruction consolidation.

Getting Started 📦

To use the interpreter, you can build the project with Rust's package manager, Cargo.

cargo build --release

This will generate the executable in the target/release directory. You can then run your BF code by providing the path to your BF source file as a command-line argument. All of the BF source files are found in the bf folder.

cargo run --bin interp(1-7) bf/hello.bf

Description of Each BF Implementation 🚗

  • interp1: The basic BF interpreter.
  • interp2: The basic BF interpreter with bracket caching.
  • interp3: A BF interpreter with opcodes and bracket caching.
  • interp4: A BF interpreter with opcodes and inline bracket caching.
  • interp5: A BF interpreter with opcodes, inline bracket caching, and Add optimization.
  • interp6: A BF interpreter with opcodes, inline bracket caching, and Add/Sub/Left/Right optimizations.
  • interp7: A BF interpreter with opcodes, inline bracket caching, Add/Sub/Left/Right optimizations, and Zero optimization.

Usage

Execute the program with the path to your BF source file as a command-line argument.

The interpreter will execute the BF code and produce the output accordingly.

Note: The performance improvement percentages are based on internal benchmarks and may vary depending on the nature of the BF code being executed.
