jitbf 1.0.0

Brainfuck JIT interpreter in Python

What's this? A fast brainfuck JIT interpreter!

How to use?

To use it, you can either write your code like this:

from jitbf import bf2jit
code='<code>'
jit=bf2jit(code)
jit()

, or use the jitbf command.

You have to install tha package 'llvmlite' before using this package.

How fast is it?

I compared this JIT interpreter with the Quick Dirty Interpreter In C. The brainfuck code used in the test is mandel.b. The operating system used in the test is Windows 10 64 bit.

How does it work?

The package is based on LLVM, it first translates brainfuck into LLVM IR code, then uses llvmlite to compile and run it.

How will you improve it in the future?

I will improve it by making the LLVM IR code it translates smaller, and runs faster.
