A full implementation of the lox programming language written in Rust. The 3rd part of the book implements a bytecode VM in C, which the design of my Rust implementation follows rather closely. However, I tried using idiomatic Rust code wherever possible (e.g. using Result<> for error handling, implementing the Scanner/TokenStream as an iterator, using Rust's enums instead of tagged unions, ...)
Nothing special here, simply use cargo build --release to build the interpreter/REPL binary.
Rlox currently passes all function tests of the official test
suite.
While the general architecture follows clox, the error reporting and syncrhonization actually resembles jlox (the
java-implementation from the book's first part). Thus the official test suite needs to be run in "jlox" mode.
There's a single test that fails because in this case rlox actually behaves like clox, namely unexpected_character.rlox.
There are also some unit tests and benchmark, they can be run via the usual cargo test and cargo bench commands.
