That's the real purpose of this module; it's not really generating an AST since ARL's syntax isn't tree like whatsoever. The next stage will be something closer to an AST, in the sense we'll be introducing: - Syntactical analysis - Type Checking
┌───────────────────────┐ │ _ ____ _ │ │ / \ | _ \| | │ │ / _ \ | |_) | | │ │ / ___ \| _ <| |___ │ │ /_/ \_\_| \_\_____| │ └───────────────────────┘ Similar to Forth. Compiles to C. Native speed with simple semantics. ----- Goals ----- - Complete operational transpiler to C - Ability to reuse compiled code (as object code) in top level ARL code. - Static type system with informative errors ------------- Issue tracker ------------- See arl.org. ------------ Requirements ------------ - C compiler with support for C23, accessible via PATH - GNU Make ------------------ Build instructions ------------------ $ make ... will generate a binary "arlc.out" in the build folder, which may be used to compile ".arl" files into native code. $ make MODE=debug ... will generate a debug binary that may be used for further examination and logging. You may specify the folder build artifacts are generated in by setting the DIST variable in your make invocation i.e. $ make DIST=<folder> Similarly, the general flags used in the C compiler may be set via the CFLAGS variable, with linking arguments set via the LDFLAGS variable.
