This is a package candidate release! Here you can preview how this package release will appear once published to the main package index (which can be accomplished via the 'maintain' link below). Please note that once a package has been published to the main package index it cannot be undone! Please consult the package uploading documentation for more information.
hbf is a compiler and executor of Brainfuck programs. It provides two executables: hbfc the Brainfuck compiler, and hbf the virtual machine that executes compiled Brainfuck programs.

[back to package description]HBF 
An unoptimized Brainfuck optimizing compiler and evaluator.
HBF can compile standard Brainfuck code into an optimized Intermediate Representation (IR). This IR can later be executed for faster Brainfuck program evaluation.
Getting Started
Installing
Use your preferred method for installing HBF from Hackage. If you prefer to build from source you can use cabal.
Usage
Let's say you have a Brainfuck program in the file mandelbrot.bf, for example,
you can get one here
You can compile the program to the Intermediate Representation using the hbfc executable provided by this project:
hbfc mandelbrot.bf
That will create a file mandelbrot.bfc in the same directory. If you want the output in a different
path you cane use --output option to hbfc
Now, you can run the compiled program:
hbf mandelbrot.bfc
and get something like:
There are several options to both the compiler and the evaluator, to modify levels of optimization, output and others. Try
--help to learn more.
Hacking
HBF has heavily documented code. Take a look at the documentation on Hackage.
