a python -> x86 compiler written in python (with a supporting runtime c library)

pyc was implemented following the design by CU EE/CS instructor Jeremy Siek (detailed in doc/notes.pdf) during my enrollment in Siek's compiler design class at CU. the runtime c library and pN/grader_tests/* regression tests were provided by Siek.

the pyc_dbg*.py and pyc-dbg files implement debugging functionality for binaries compiled with pyc/gcc using the python GDB extensions, the pyelftools package, and the distorm package.

• to compile c library on 64 bit, get the proper headers/libraries.
  on ubuntu:
  sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib libc6-i386 libc6-dev-i386

python packages needed for debugging:

• pyelftools: pip install pyelftools
• distorm: pip install distorm3

for the details on the debugger implementation, see pyc-dbg.pdf and pyc-dbg_presentation-full.pdf in the ./doc directory.
