Sand

Sand is object-oriented programming language.

Installing

We need to build virtual machine (c++) and compiler (java, maven).

Compiler

cd compiler
mvn clean install
cd target
alias sandc="java -jar ${PWD}/compiler-1.0.jar"

or add it to ~/.bashrc

Virtual machine

sand_lib/ provides classes like String, Array, Console etc.

cd virtual_machine
make
alias sand="${PWD}/app ${PWD}/../sand_lib/"

Running example

Hello world program App.sa:

/*
    hello world in Sand
*/
class App {

    main(args){
        Console.writeln("Hello world!");
    }

}

Commands to run program:

sandc -P /ABSOLUTE_PATH/sand_example/
sand /ABSOLUTE_PATH/sand_example/ App

output:

Hello world!

Testing

To run test programs from sand_test/ you must first compile virtual_machine/ with parameter DEBUG=1.

cd virtual_machine
make DEBUG=1
./test $PWD/../sand_lib/ $PWD/../sand_tests/ $PWD/../sand_tests/tests

File sand_tests/tests contains pair of class name to test and expected value on return of main() method.
