This project is my effort to learn basics of compiler design and LLVM. It is an LLVM frontend for a simple C-like language with no particular purpose. I will be adding features to the language as I try to learn them and how they can be implemented.
The main executable is basilisk, located in the tools directory.
This executable handles the full compilation from a source file to an object file native for the host machine.
It supports input and output through standard streams and files, and output can be generated at any stage of the process by using command line options (--lex, --parse, ...).
For full usage description, run basilisk -h to display the help screen.
- Boost >= 1.69.0,
- LLVM (developed with 8.0.0svn)
The main supported compiler is Clang, but GCC should also work with minimal adjustments. The recommended linker is LLVM's lld, mainly for the easy to understand warning messages.
basilisk_BUILD_TEST— build tests (default: ON),basilisk_BUILD_DOC— build documentation (default: ON),basilisk_LLVM— LLVM build directory (default: /opt/llvm),basilisk_BOOST— Boost directory (default: /opt/boost)
The compiler warnings enabled are all of -Wall, -Wextra and -Wpedantic.
There is also a configuration file and run script for clang-tidy.
The library itself should produce no warnings with either of these if at all possible.
