A gdb-inspired debugger for Brainfuck programs, written in C.
- I really just want to test my C chops and see if I could do it.
- I like Brainfuck and other esoteric languages.
- Maybe somehow, somewhere, at some point it will be useful to someone. Maybe.
I'm mostly just making this program for myself. As such, I'm taking the lazy approach to some things. For example, in the makefile, the build targets are specified as .exe files, specific to Windows and MinGW. Since I'm using Windows, I've elected to simply use this.
If you are running Windows with MinGW, you can run make in the command line and bfd will build itself with gcc. I'm using MinGW-w64.
Otherwise, simply compile bfd.c with your favorite C compiler. It should not have any Windows specific dependancies.
To run bfd, enter the following into the command line:
bfd FILE-NAME
This will start the debugger running with the given brainfuck file. For more information, use the --help option.
bfd --help
