NAME
Lox - A Perl implementation of the Lox programming language
DESCRIPTION
A Perl translation of the Java Lox interpreter from Crafting Interpreters.
INSTALL
To install the project dependencies and just run plox
from the project directory:
$ cpanm --installdeps .
If you'd rather build and install it:
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
SYNOPSIS
If you have built and installed plox
:
$ plox
Welcome to Perl-Lox version 0.01
>
$ plox hello.lox
Hello, World!
Otherwise from the root project directory:
$ perl -Ilib bin/plox
Welcome to Perl-Lox version 0.01
>
$ perl -Ilib bin/plox hello.lox
Hello, World!
TESTING
The test suite includes 238 test files from the Crafting Interpreters repo.
$ prove -l t/*
ISSUES
Differences from the canonical "jlox" implementation:
signed zero is unsupported
methods are equivalent
Prints "true" in plox and "false" in jlox:
class Foo { bar () { } } print Foo().bar == Foo().bar;
