## General
+ x86_64

+ Flex/Bison

## Train of making
file -> preprocessor -> as -> link -> exe

### implementation
1. flex parsing
2. bison creates partial syntax trees (since we dont optimize, we can render in relatively small chunks because not all that much context is needed)
3. xolatile magic

## Types
```
<prefix><size>
```

prefixes:
+ s - signed
+ u - unsigned

## Syntax
### Macros
+ fuck macros

#### logical blocks
+ if
#### operators

+ >
+ <
+ <=
+ >=
+ !=
+ not
+ and
+ or
+ xor

### labels

+ `volatile`
+ `extern`
+ `static`

### Assembly Example

program example
begin
    if a is 1 then
        // ...
