Built using Flex & Bison to take in any java source code and emits its equivalent bytecode. This is a project developed for the PLT (Programming Language Translation) course at Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University in Spring 2020 Offering.

To run the program, use the script run.sh as follows:

./run.sh file_name

where filename, can be any file that contains java source code.

For testing purposes while development use this,

./run.sh --debug file_name

or

./run.sh -d file_name

where file_name is a file that exists in the test-cases folder. The extra argument will ensure we keep all our test files from the test-cases folder and picking the suitable unit test case for the part you're developing.
