Same as the first lab, you did the structure, so i have litle interest in commenting it.

# Test design 

- folder *operators* checks all operations on operators (additive, multiplicative, relations, unary minus, boolean)
- *nested{While,For,Ifs}* checks with structures of nested blocks.
- *forTests* and *whileClauseSyntax* tests for the well-execution of for and while loops.
- *testTooManyVariables* tries initializing many variables in order to make the naive allocator fail.

# Design choices

Boolean Not has been implemented using an immediate 1 and the opreator xor, even though such operator exists in riscV (see Known bugs).

I did implement C-like loops with the same system used in the interpreter.

# Known bugs

There is a lot of RiscV instruction that are not implemented in Lib, and that makes bigger and less readable code (for exemple, slt would be better than blt for integer comparison).

By design, we always use a jump statement before a label. Otherwise, the CFG linearization fails. This is intended (the missing jump could be added in *prepare_chunk*).

So, there is one line in *BuildCFG.c* that sould never be executed (that's why the coverage is not 100% complete), when a label is detected as a leader, as the preceding jump will always have been detected as a leader before it.

# Checklists

A check ([X]) means that the feature is implemented 
and *tested* with appropriate test cases.
