Vex Compiler

A compiler for the Vex programming language.

Overview

The Vex compiler (vexc) transforms Vex source code into executable programs through a series of compilation phases.

Modules

• lexer - Tokenizes source code into lexical tokens
• (Future: parser - Builds abstract syntax trees)
• (Future: codegen - Generates target code)

Quick Start

use vexc::lexer::{Lexer, Token};

let mut lexer = Lexer::new("let x = 42;");
loop {
    match lexer.next_token() {
        Ok(Token::Eof) => break,
        Ok(token) => println!("{:?}", token),
        Err(e) => {
            eprintln!("Error: {}", e);
            break;
        }
    }
}

Compilation Pipeline

1. Lexical Analysis - Source text → Tokens
2. Parsing - Tokens → AST (coming soon)
3. Semantic Analysis - Type checking (coming soon)
4. Code Generation - AST → Target code (coming soon)
