Compiling MSL

Required Software

Make
MingW (g++)

Running Make

Open your terminal and navigate to the root directory of the repository.
Execute the following command make release. This will compile MSL for general use and result in a lightweight and fast executable.
- make debug will compile a debug build of the interpreter with g++ debug symbols and allow you to run MSL in gdb.
- make performance will include code to indicate the time spent on the following steps of execution: Lexing, Parsing, and Execution.

Running MSL Programs

Navigate to the root directory of the repository and enter the following ./build/msl <program path>. Replace with the path to your MSL program.
- If you have MSL added to your path on your system, you may enter msl <program path>. Replace with the path to your MSL program.

Running MSL REPL

Launch MSL without any arguments to enter REPL mode.
This mode will allow you to enter commands in the language and have them execute instantly.
While in REPL Mode, you may enter exit to exit the interpreter.
