Biraj's Brainfuck Interpreter

A simple Brainfuck interpreter written in C. It can also transpile a Brainfuck program to C.

Optimizations

It groups adjacent characters of the same type into a single instruction. These optimized instructions are then ran by the interpreter.

Example:

Source:

++++ ++++

Optimized code:

{ '+' : 8 }

Before this optimization, it used to take roughly 41 seconds to run Erik Dubbelboer's Mandelbrot program. After optimization, it takes about 17 seconds.

Build:

make

Usage:

bf [--traspile] [FILE]

Examples:

Interpret:

bf test.bf

Transpile to C:

bf --transpile test.bf
