Ivory

Ivory is an embedded domain specific language (EDSL) which aims to provide a systems-level programming language that removes some common pitfalls of programming in C, without sacrificing expressivity.

This repository includes a user guide and some examples Ivory programs. More information and tutorials are available on ivorylang.org.

The following paper describes the Ivory language:

• Trevor Elliott, Lee Pike, Simon Winwood, Pat Hickey, James Bielman, Jamey Sharp, Eric Seidel, John Launchbury. Guilt-free Ivory. Haskell Symposium, 2015.

Contents

• ivory: the Ivory language implementation and interpreter
• ivory-backend-c: a backend for compiling Ivory programs to C
• ivory-examples: sample Ivory programs
• ivory-opts: an optimization framework and some optimization implementations, for the Ivory AST.
• ivory-bitdata: a macro language library for specifying bit-precise Ivory operations.
• ivory-hw: a macro language library for writing hardware drivers in Ivory.
• ivory-model-check: a backend for verifying Ivory programs with CVC4

Installing

Ivory is written in Haskell and uses several recent GHC extensions. It is known to work with with GHC 7.8.* and above.

We currently recommend using the Stack build tool for Ivory language packages and any programs which use them.
