Reads all the files the compiler needs.
Link to this section Summary
Functions
Cleans the source code as a string.
Reads the source code from a file path and a general token list from an XML file.
Reads the structure of the target language's grammar production rules from an XML file.
Reads the structure of the target language's valid tokens as a General Token List (GTL).

Cleans the source code as a string.
Specs
file_content is the path to the file to be compiled.
Generates the following output:
- Source Code String (SCS): String.
Examples
iex> scs = Reader.clean_source_code_string(File.read!("examples/test_s2.c"))
"int main(){
return -7;
}"read_code_and_tokens(raw_source_code_string, tokens_path, verbose \\ false)
View SourceReads the source code from a file path and a general token list from an XML file.
Specs
raw_source_code_string is source code without any format coming from File.read!(path)
tokens_path is the path to an XML file containing the target language's valid token list.
verbose a boolean value indicating if the compiler should output all of its steps.
Generates the following output:
- Source Code String (SCS): source code contained in a string.
- General Token List (GTL): list of target language valid tokens.
Examples
iex> {scs, gtl} = Reader.read_code_and_tokens('examples/test.c',
"specification_files/c_tokens.xml")Reads the structure of the target language's grammar production rules from an XML file.
Specs
grammar_prod_rules_path is the path to an XML file containing the target language's grammar production rules.
Generates the following output:
- General Abstract Syntax Treee (GAST): list containing the target language grammar production rules.
Examples
iex> gast = Reader.read_general_ast(grammar_prod_rules_path)Reads the structure of the target language's valid tokens as a General Token List (GTL).
Specs
tokens_path is the path to an XML file containing the target language's valid token list.
Generates the following output:
- General Token List (GTL): list of target language's valid tokens.
Examples
iex> gtl = Reader.read_general_token_list("specification_files/c_tokens.xml")
