A C to Whitespace transpiler.
Spacebar is written in OCaml, instructions on how to install OCaml for your operating system can be found in the offical documentation.
Spacebar uses the Dune build system. Instructions on installing Dune can be found in the project documentation.
Once you have installed OCaml and Dune, the project can be built by running
dune build
Once built, the spacebar.exe
build artifact can be found in the
_build/default
directory.
Spacebar reads C code from stdin and outputs transpiled Whitespace code to
stdout. For example, to transpile one of the examples in the functional test
suite to a file called out.ws
:
cat test/basic_main.c | ./_build/default/spacebar.exe > out.ws
A Bats based functional test suite is
provided in the test
directory. By default the test suite expects an existing Whitespace interpreter
on the path with the name wspace
. The Spacebar binary used for testing is
sourced from the default build directory (_build/default/
).
To run the test suite:
./test/functional.sh
