The main
function in toc corresponds to the main
function in C. This function is called when your program is run. So, this is a valid toc program which does nothing:
main ::= fn() {
};
It declares a constant, main
, which is a function with an empty body. Note that the syntax for declaring functions is the same as the syntax for declaring constants (it isn't something like fn main() { ... }
).
Assuming you have compiled the compiler (see README.md
for instructions about that), you can compile it with
toc <your filename>
You will get a file called out.c
, which you can then put through your C compiler to get an executable file which does nothing. Congratulations! You've written your first toc program.
