ssc
Summary
ssc is a basic, work-in-progress compiler for SunScript. It supports all of the byte-code functionality of Super Mario Sunshine's SPC interpreter. The compiler compiles to the SPC binary format (.sb files) used by Super Mario Sunshine.
This program utilizes the Grammatica library to generate an LL(k) parser using a grammar syntax file.
Usage
To use ssc, create an instance of the sunCompiler
class.
Use the sunCompiler.Compile
or any of its overloads to compile a script:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
name |
The name of the main script to compile. This is passed to the import resolver. |
output |
The output stream into which the compiled binary file will be written. |
resolver |
An instance of the import resolver to use. If not specified, sunImportResolver.Default will be used. |
ssc by default resolves imports by loading files on disk (see language.md. for more information).
To use a custom import resolver, create a new class inheriting from sunImportResolver
and pass an instance of it to the sunCompiler.Compile
method.
The result of compilation will be returned in a sunCompilerResults
instance.
Use the various properties on this type to gather the information of the compilation:
Property | Description |
---|---|
Success |
Whether the script was compiled successfully. If not, the Error property should be non-null. |
Error |
The fatal error which occured during compilation. If compilation was successful, this should be null. |
CompileTime |
The time it took to compile, measured as a TimeSpan instance. |
DataCount |
The total number of data-table entries created. |
SymbolCount |
The total number of symbols (builtins, functions, and variables) created. |
BuiltinCount |
The total number of builtin symbols created. |
FunctionCount |
The total number of function symbols created. |
VariableCount |
The total number of global-scope variable symbols created. |
If the error is of the type sunScriptException
, you can cast and retrieve the script name, line, and column of the error.
Language
