Project progress: Still missing major features :( It's been a pain using LLVM to compile a dynamically typed language, so I'm working on some of these features (e.g. functions, nested tuples, and let). But you can try some things.
docker build -t vladpiler .
make install
make llvm
The rinha files must be in testcases.
./bin/vladpiler rinha_source
This will cause the file to be compiled to LLVM IR and placed in the llvm directory with the same name. Further compilation of these files can be done with make
You may also run it with --help for some help options. You can use --program
to try out its lexer (I used for debugging purposes) like so: bin/vladpiler --program lexer rinha_source
I spent too much time trying to hack type inference after I discovered about the fact that all pointer types are opaque, and getting the types of pointers is painful. For this reason, although the project started with good foundations, it was rushed near the end and there is plenty of room for improvement in the back-end (which was supposed to be the main thing, but oh well).
Make sure you have Pyhton 3 installed and all necessary packages. Then run
./scripts/fetch-rinha-files.py.
