Please test my compiler

I'm working on a compiler from Blitz-like basic to the Common Intermediate Language (the .NET assembly language). I have a version that works for a subset of features. Any bug reports are welcome.

You can download the source and an executable for Windows (GPL licensed) here: http://cilbasic.googlecode.com/files/cilbasic-r15.zip

The WIP name is cilbasic, which sucks. I'm accepting suggestions :)

For what works, see the readme file.

Ps. If you are planning to view the source, please be warned that the code is crappy.

Does this compiler implements the codedom interface? I'll give it a go, I'm interested if it also works with the mono framework.

in the help file do you mean ildasm.exe? (instead of ilasm.exe)
if so it doesnt work with .NET

ildasm is a dissasembler, he's talking about the ilasm wich is the assembler.
çit works seems to work here

i used the windows search tool to find the path for ilasm.exe in c:\program files\

but it couldnt be found

With Mono, the tool is ilasm.bat. With .NET it is ilasm.exe. Either way it should be in your PATH variable and will most likely run without the extension. You may need the .NET SDK.

I'm using Mono only at the moment, so I'm not sure it will work with .NET.



No, it would be impossible at this point, as I'm programming it in BlitzMax. The compiler creates CIL instructions which are assembled using ilasm. CodeDOM is a possibility in the future.

Baybe when the compiler can compile itself?
