Prefix

C17 implementation of the Prefix programming language.

Overview

This repository contains the reference implementation of the Prefix programming language, written in ISO C17 and targeting Clang on baseline x64 Windows. The codebase includes the lexer, parser, interpreter\runtime, standard library bindings, and supporting tools used by the reference implementation.

Project layout

  • .github\workflows\: GH Actions CI configuration.
  • docs\: Documentation for Prefix, builds GH Pages site.
  • ext\
  • lib\
  • src\: Source code and headers for the interpreter.
  • tests\: Automated test suite.
  • .gitignore: Git ignore file.

  • README.md: This file.

Requirements

  • Windows Vista or newer.
  • LLVM\Clang toolchain with C17 support.
  • PowerShell (to run the included build script)

Building

To build the interpreter run:

& path\to\Prefix\build.ps1

The build.ps1 script invokes Clang and produces the interpreter, standard library, and test binaries. Ensure your Clang installation is on PATH before running the script.

Testing

Automated tests live under the top-level tests\ directory. You can run the test harness with PowerShell:

& path\to\Prefix\tests\test.ps1
