it's a **C** **I**nteger **E**xpression **L**anguage…? maybe?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ciel doesn't actually do anything useful,
|
||
|
|
and it's more of an exercise in masochism.
|
||
|
|
read some notes from the C file itself:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```c
|
||
|
|
/* this code uses no #includes, because i've lost my mind. */
|
||
|
|
/* it also makes it easier to compile with hobbyists' compilers. */
|
||
|
|
/* this code is somewhat optimized for LOC after preprocessing with noccom. */
|
||
|
|
/* ( noccom: https://github.com/notwa/rc/blob/master/sh/noccom ) */
|
||
|
|
/* this code makes extensive use of the comma operator. */
|
||
|
|
/* i tried to avoid using the preprocessor for any side-effects. */
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
at the time of writing, ciel fits into 643 LOC,
|
||
|
|
under my arbitrary measure of lines-of-code.
|
||
|
|
you can find the mangled source code in `enfer.c`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
i avoid having multiple semicolons in one line, with these exceptions:
|
||
|
|
"for" loops, switch-case-breaks, and alongside closing braces.
|
||
|
|
also, most lines fit into 80 columns. there's a couple that don't (yet).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
perhaps of note is the relatively compact robin-hood hash table implementation.
|
||
|
|
it supports looking (peeking), pushing, pulling (popping),
|
||
|
|
and expansion/growth (but not shrinkage).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
there's also some utilization of perfect hashes
|
||
|
|
found by an external program through brute force.
|
||
|
|
these efficiently map operator strings to their respective numeric enumerations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*aside:* ciel already has its own git repo with a ton of history,
|
||
|
|
but it's not for the public (i.e. it's an absolute clusterfuck).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*aside:* i wrote ciel before i really knew what Forth was, and now
|
||
|
|
i kinda want to make my own Forth instead of whatever the heck this is.
