compiler fases

• SURFACE
  • cli: receive user’s input and send that into compiler and return the results
  • compiler: manage all compile process and resource with scheduling
• FRONTEND(using CompilerFrontendContext)
  • tokenizer: tokenize input and generate Vec<Token>
  • parser: parse Vec<Token> and generate AST
  • dependency_resolution: resolve file and package level devendency
  • name_resolution: resolve name and type
  • type_checker: check if type is correct
• MIDDLEEND(using CompilerMiddleendContext)
  • hir_gen: generate hir that is more low-level and brief lang from AST
  • hir_transform: optimize or transform hir
  • mir_gen: generate mir from hir
  • mir_transform: optimize or transform mir
• BACKEND(using CompilerBackendContext)
  • llvmir_gen: generate llvm-ir
  • linker: link the output binary to binaries from other programming language and export one binary
• OTHER
  • diagnostic: manage compiler diagnostic from any fases
  • linter: lint
  • doc_gen: generate documents from source code
  • common: utility for all fases

How to build Compiler

dependencies

• Rust stable toolchains (cargo, rustfmt, rustc, clippy)
• Rust nightly toolchains (miri)
• Node.js
• (in the future) LLVM_21 with libpolly-21-dev

Build

1. Install script dependencies bia npm

cd script
npm install
npm start

2. Build compiler bia cargo

cargo build --release
