MiniGo Compiler

A compiler for the MiniGo programming language, a simplified version of Go defined by the course Principles of Programming Languages.
Implemented in Python with ANTLR for lexical and syntactic analysis.

Overview

MiniGo is a lightweight teaching language inspired by Golang defined by professors in Ho Chi Minh University of Technology.
This compiler performs lexical analysis, parsing, semantic checking, and code generation, following a traditional compiler pipeline.

Features

• ANTLR-based Parsing: Grammar-driven lexer and parser generation.
• AST Generation: Construct hierarchical syntax representation for MiniGo programs.
• Semantic Checking: Type and scope analysis, static error detection.
• Code Generation: Produce intermediate representations or target code.
• Modular Design: Organized into reusable compiler phases and test suites.
