The ppci (pure python compiler infrastructure) project is a compiler written entirely in python.

The project contains the following:

  • A Compiler, an assembler, a linker and a build system

  • Language front-ends: Brainfuck, c3

  • Backends: arm, avr, msp430, x86_64

Command line tools

Use it to build projects:

$ pip install ppci
$ ppci-build.py -f examples/build.xml
$ qemu-system-arm -M lm3s6965evb -kernel snake.bin -serial stdio

This runs the snake demo on an emulated (qemu) lm3s demo board and displays the game to the console.

Api

Or use the api:

>>> from ppci.arch.x86_64 import instructions, registers
>>> i = instructions.Pop(registers.rbx)
>>> i.encode()
b'['
>>> import io
>>> from ppci.api import asm
>>> source_file = io.StringIO("""section code
... mov rax, 60
... mov rdi, 42""")
>>> obj = asm(source_file, 'x86_64')
>>> obj.get_section('code').data
bytearray(b'H\xb8<\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00H\xbf*\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00')
