Braze compiler - for 32 bit x86 architecture. Compiles a subset of C.

To build braze compiler with make run: make clean make

or use the shell script sh build.sh

Unit tests can be built with Visual Studio MSBuild

Braze compiler depends on various gcc, g++ and nasm libraries. These can be install with install_tools.sh or manually from the command line:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential gcc make gcc-multilib g++-multilib nasm

#notes and known errors

Feature list:

1. Local and global variables of primitive type: char, int, short, long, void. R and L values are supported.
2. Function declarations, function prototypes and function calls, all with parameters are supported
3. String support

2. Format specifiers in strings is not supported, example: "test value %d", 10
3. Return keyword is not suppoerted
