Overview

Package compile provides an interface for compiling a type checked parse tree into native code. It is a stack machine with a simple queuing mechanism to avoid reloading registers. It uses an accumulator described in the SubC compiler.

Functions

func Compile

func Compile(conf Config, prog *ast.Prog, info *types.Info) error

Compile compiles a AST tree down to native machine code. It assumes a correct AST and valid typed check structure for the AST.

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	Emitter   *arch.Emitter // the code emitter for the compiler, needed for generating code for an architecture
	MaxErrors int           // max number of errors before bailing out
}

Config provide options for how the compiler will act when compiling.
