DISCLAIMER: This is the course material and our group's implementation of a Scheme compiler for Professor Norman Ramsey's CS106: Virtual Machines and Language Translation. Credit for all course material and boilerplate code go to Professor Ramsey.

This is the student-facing code repository for CS 106: Simple Virtual Machines and Language Translation.

The repo is intended to be cloned and edited. If your git skills are limited, no problem! You mainly need to know git clone to get your own copy, git commit to save your own work, and git pull to get updates. You can also use these resources:

• If you're quite new to git, I recommend The Git Parable by Tom Preston-Werner. This introduction focuses on problems that git is meant to solve.

• Git Magic by Ben Lynn is a fine tutorial.

• If you use Emacs, Magit by Jonas Bernoulli is the best interface---it blows everything else out of the water.

In the repository, you'll find these directories:

• bin holds compiled binaries and also scripts. Add it to your $PATH.

• build is a holding area for compiled files (.o and that ilk). If you are having trouble compiling, it is safe to remove everything from it and start over.

• src contains sources that I provide and that you'll edit:

  • src/vscheme contains source code for a vscheme interpreter. Use it for testing and experimentation.
  • src/svm contains starter source code for your Simple Virtual Machine.
  • src/uft contains starter source code for your Universal Forward Translator.
