Caseum is an educational project, made with intent on deepening knowledge about how real languages work. And for fun.

Here's how recursive fibonacci implementation looks like in caseum

import "../include/stdio"

#[int]fib([int]value) {
	if(value < 2) {
		return 1
	} else {
		return fib(value-1) + value
	}
}

#[int]main() {
	[int]value = 4
	printf("fib(%i) = %i", value, fib(value))
}

More examples can be found in "examples" folder.

Caseum code compiles to FASM assembly, and from there to an executable. Here are the arguments when running the compiler:

caseum source [additionalLibs] [options]

[additionalLibs] - Libraries to link. For example: libmsvcrt.a libkernel32.a
[options] - Currently only output file. Supporting -osomeName.exe and -osomeName.o

For example, this is how one would compile the helloworld example:

caseum ../examples/helloworld/main libmsvcrt.a -ohelloworld.exe

The executable is always placed next to the source file.

If you want to run the compiler, you need to create a bin/ folder at the root of this project, and place following files in there: ld.exe - a linker FASM/FASM.exe - FASM compiler

Caseum supports only i386 architecture (x86).

• Windows
• Linux
• MacOS X

• Add double type
• Add while & do...while loops
• Introduce some basic sort of garbage collecting
• Write some basic libraries (that'd wrap functions like printf, file IO, etc.)
• Add pointers (?)
• Add custom types
• Enhance error reporting (also, general parser enhancements)
• Introduce some sort of optimizer (?)
• Allow to generate .o files & reuse them within other apps
• Add some more examples, exposing all the features
• Enhance library system (?)
