file i/o, gimmeh, and arrays are not implemented.  Everything else from Recommendation 1.0 is (AFAIK LOL!!! ^____^)

[[http://umich.edu/~rmurillo/lolcode.zip]]

This one is 4 all my ppl from olden times - it's standard flex, bison, and c.  It should run on any gnu-friendly Unix (or Cygwin) implementation with a devel package installed.  Run "build" to compile the interpreter and run an example.

It should work with yacc and lex too, but I can't try it cuz I don't has ne munny.

Derived from Tom Niemann's excellent "calc" example in "A Compact Guide to Lex & Yacc" - [[http://epaperpress.com/lexandyacc/index.html]]

This is example.lol -

	HAI
	CAN HAS STDIO?

I have a LOLCODE Recommendation v1.0 [[http://lolcode-ctools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/lolcode-v1.0-rec.lol| example file]] in my repository if you want to check it out.  It covers all of the aspects of v1.0, but it doesn't cover every keyword (i.e. it does all 4 math operators, but it doesn't do both binary and self-assignment versions of both).  Check it out.  I also have a flex/bison implementation that (at present) generates an abstract syntax tree that will be used soon in my compiler.

Nice job with that!  Writing stuff with flex/bison is tough when you're rusty or new at it.

lol ty - I've been meaning to figure out lex/yacc for a long time, this was a perfect excuse!

And O NOES!  My lexxer wants everything to be in upparcase!    (That seems appropriate somehow, rite???).  K tho I'm gonna use ur above example as a test, it does indeed look robust.

I was gonna try to generate assembly next, then object code, but i dno.  It would be a good learning experience.  Are you gonna compile for a specific target?

 --- //Bobby Tomatoseed, 2007/06/01 14:15//

Yeah, I'm aiming to compile it into GNU Assembly... so I guess i'm not really compiling it, I'm transcoding it, but I think the terminology works better ;)

Hopefully it should be general enough assembly that it could be compiled on a variety of platforms, as gcc knows all of the host-specific stuff. I'm not going to be aiming much at writing optimizations in.
