This is aBF interpreter and optimizing compiler written in Go.

GoBF can simply run your BF program or compile it to a binary to run later.

go get github.com/linux4life798/gobf

The commandline program currently supportscompile,gengo,run, anddumpil actions.

Give it a try!

go get github.com/linux4life798/gobfwget https://github.com/erikdubbelboer/brainfuck-jit/raw/master/mandelbrot.bfgobf compile mandelbrot.bf./mandelbrot

Note that therun command will simply interpret the BF program in-place,thus the performance will be as-is. Please use thecompile to generatean optimized program.

Please seegobf --help for more fun options!

The generated code optimizer reduces redundant and repetitive commands,like data pointer moves or incrementing a data cell.It coalesces multiple moves or data cell changes into one operation.Due to BF's repetitive nature, this typically increases the BF program'sperformance dramatically. All of the interesting optimization stuffis ingobflib/il package.

Recent work has added some pattern and vectorization based optimizations,but these have not been fully calibrated yet.

To try the zero pattern optimization, invoke gobf in the following manor:

gobf -O zero compile mandelbrot.bf
