-Imperative language compilation to the Mini-ZAM
+# comp2mzam - Imperative language compiler to the Mini-ZAM
+
+Here is a compiler producing bytecode for a simplified implementation of the OCaml Virtual Machine, called Mini-ZAM.
+
+*This project is part of the Advanced Compilation course of my professional training.*
+
+## Technical stack / choices
+
+I made the choice of OCaml ecosystem for the compiler implementation :
+
+* [OCaml V4.13.1](https://ocaml.org)
+  * [OCamlLex standard component for lexical analysis](https://ocaml.org/manual/lexyacc.html)
+* [Menhir 20211230 tool for syntax analysis](https://gitlab.inria.fr/fpottier/menhir)
+  * Use [OPAM 2.1.1 Ocaml PAckage Manager](https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/menhir) for Menhir installation
+
+## Compilation and execution
+
+To compile the project source code, run the default Makefile command
+
+```console
+make
+```
+
+To execute the project (bytecode generation for the Mini-ZAM), run this command.\
+In the following example, tests/t0.txt file is compiled to tests/build/bc_t0.txt file.\
+To get an idea of the result, see the bytecode sample file tests/build/demo-bytecode.txt
+
+```console
+S=t0.txt make compile
+```
+
+Then, you need a Mini-ZAM to interpret the generated bytecode.
