ire

This repository contains the source code for irec, the ire compiler.

What is implemented so far (as of 0.3.0)

functions
variables
type system: native types (Int, Byte, Boolean), arrays, product types, sum types (tagged unions)
pattern matching on unions via the pattern match operator (:)
imports (very basic)
arithmetic
conditional branching (if, elseif, else)
logical operators (and, or)

What will be implemented in the future

rewrite of import system
standard library
gc
first class functions, lambdas, closures
other os support (mac, windows)

Usage and options

usage: irec [options] file

irec -h for options. by default "irec file.ire" is equivalent to "irec file.ire -bllvm -O0 -o file"

Examples

See the tests directory. the tests can be run by typing "make test"

note that irec is not very stable right now, and can sometimes crash on bad input.
