development_new_language

a new language made for stress relief.

hello, I'm just an ordinary university student.
this is a project to create a new language for stress relief.
updates will be irregular.

since I'm not good at english, I might make mistakes in variable names and other parts,
but I’d really appreciate it if you take a look anyway.

Overview

This program demonstrates the basic workflow of the ANS language compiler front-end.
It currently performs lexical analysis and AST construction, but the full hash processing and later stages are still under development.

---

main.c

/* 1) Entry point for lexing; begins tokenization. 2) Sequentially outputs the lexed tokens. 3) Creates the list used by the hash process. 4) Builds the AST via the parser. 5) Runs the hash process function. 6) Prints the AST. 7) Prints the AST (deprecated; use is discouraged). 8–10) Clean up each structure (tokens, AST, hash list), then return. NOTE: At this stage, only AST construction is implemented.*/intmain(void) {

ANS Compiler Front-End

A lightweight experimental compiler front-end for the ANS language.
Currently supports Lexical Analysis and AST Construction phases.

Build & Run

1. Build

gcc main.c ext_alloc.c str_ext.c lexer_main_ans.c hash_process_ans_main.c parser_main_ans.c run_main_ans.c ir_main_ans.c

Example: Basic obj Declaration and return

Below is a simple example written in ANS syntax:

obj add(obj x, obj y) {
return x + y;
}
obj var = add(1, 2);
return var;

Explanation

1. obj Declaration

obj is a generic data type used in ANS. It can hold various types (numbers, strings, or user-defined objects), similar to a dynamically typed variable in high-level languages.

obj var = add(1, 2);

Here, var is declared as an obj and initialized with the result of the function add(1, 2).

2. Function return

return x + y;

This return is inside the function scope — it exits the add function and sends the computed value (x + y) back to the caller. In ANS, the return statement is optional; if omitted, the function implicitly returns the last evaluated expression.

3. Top-Level return

return var;

At the top level (outside of any function), return indicates the end of the file’s code and provides the final value of the program. This statement is also optional — the program naturally ends after the last expression if no return is written.

Summary

Concept Description obj A flexible, dynamically typed object type Function return Returns a value from within a function scope (optional) Top-level return Marks the end of the file’s code; optional

Note: In the current implementation,

the parser recognizes both function-scope and top-level return statements, but runtime evaluation is still under development.

Development Status

Module	Status	Details
Lex	Almost complete	Core lexical analysis works fine. Some extensions planned.
Parser	In development	Mostly functional, but still under refinement.
Hash Process	In development	Basic structure implemented, further logic WIP.
IR / Run	Not implemented	Intermediate representation and runtime are not yet developed.
