# nac3 compiler
|
|
|
|
This repository contains:
|
|
- nac3core: Core compiler library, containing type-checking, static analysis (in
|
|
the future) and code generation.
|
|
- nac3embedded: Integration with CPython runtime.
|
|
- nac3standalone: Standalone compiler tool.
|
|
|
|
The core compiler would know nothing about symbol resolution, host variables
|
|
etc. The nac3embedded/nac3standalone library would provide (implement) the
|
|
symbol resolver to the core compiler for resolving the type and value for
|
|
unknown symbols. The core compiler would only type check classes and functions
|
|
requested by the nac3embedded/nac3standalone lib (the API should allow the
|
|
caller to specify which methods should be compiled). After type checking, the
|
|
compiler would analyse the set of functions/classes that are used and perform
|
|
code generation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symbol resolver:
|
|
- Str -> Nac3Type
|
|
- Str -> Value
|
|
|
|
value could be integer values, boolean values, bytes (for memcpy), function ID
|
|
(full name + concrete type)
|
|
|
|
## Current Plan
|
|
|
|
1. Write out the syntax-directed type checking/inferencing rules. Fix the rule
|
|
for type variable instantiation.
|
|
2. Update the library dependencies and rewrite some of the type checking code.
|
|
3. Design the symbol resolver API.
|
|
4. Move tests from code to external files to cleanup the code.
