Lox ANSI C Virtual Machine

Virtual machine implementation for the Lox programming language, implemented in ANSI C. Based on the language and design from Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom.

Building

There are a few build flags available

Flag	Description	Default value
ENABLE_DEBUG	Enables debug information: dissasembling op codes, printing runtime stack, logging garbage collector.	OFF
ENABLE_NAN_TAGGING	Enables NaN tagging for value types.	ON

You can use these flags in succession with cmake to generate the project. See an example script below:

cmake . -B out -DENABLE_DEBUG=OFF

Lox program

print "Hello, world!";

var x = 10;
for (var i = 0; i < x; i = i + 1) {
  print i;
}

Tip

You can find more lox code snippets under the test folder.
