icpp: an interpreter for C++

Motivation

This project is inspired by c4 - C in four functions.

I am trying to implement an interpreter for modern C++. This should be an efficient way to learn details of the language, as well as related compiler techniques. The goal is to make the interpreter interpret itself, and I am still on the way.

Quick Start

For quick start, try the following:

g++ -Wall -std=c++17 icpp.cpp -o icpp
./icpp hello.cpp
./icpp icpp.cpp hello.cpp  # (not finished yet)

The assembly code can be shown in two ways:

./icpp -s hello.cpp # as static parsing
./icpp -v hello.cpp # as runtime tracking
