Pavel's CCodeGenerator works under Windows MinGW: sweet

I loaded the code from http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PavelKrivanek/CCodeGenerator where the generator is now standalone, from VMMaker

I made my own little version here: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~philippeback/HOExtras/packages/CCodeGenerator-Core

Just works nicely under windows, not sure for the OSProcess thing as I did the build by hand in a side console.

So: CCGExample new nbFib4: <print it> 30 90799453

It just works perfectly.

That’s a pretty great day for integration with JNIPort and CCodeGenerator!

Re: Pavel's CCodeGenerator works under Windows MinGW: sweet

Unbelievable... I stare how open source can work :-) I started this project yesterday so it can hardly translate more than the small examples and of course it had no announcement.

So, CCodeGenerator is the standalone translator from Smalltalk to plain C extracted from VMMaker. It should be able now generate other projects than the VM. You can write a shared library in trimmed Smalltalk (http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/slang), debug it in Smalltalk IDE and then translate to C and compile. With NativeBoost binding (that will be generated in future versions automatically) you can use it simply from Smalltalk again. So you can write some parts of your projects in Smalltalk that will run on speed of C.

Thank you Phil, I added you as a contributor. If others want to have write access to the repository, let me know.

Cheers,

This is beautiful, indeed (both the project and the open-source dynamics) :).

Keep it up.

Cheers,

One thing we need to do eventually is to have a SLANG that does not use the old AST and Parser… but the RB AST instead.

I'm curious about that. I'll have a look to see how hard it would be to
make the change (I'm deep in parser and AST land at the moment).

The nice thing would be that it would just a visitor… very similar to Opal: 1) do semantic analysis 2) a visitor emitting C code.

Later one could then even have a real intermediate representation (maybe the one of Sista?) and do some optimisation there, with all
control flow information instead of using the AST.

Ah, and there is Waterfall: http://hal.inria.fr/hal-00871353

This already contains a SLANG based on the RB AST… but compiling with native boost ASMJIT as a backend, not C.

Yes, this is what I expected to find.

Hum, this means however rewritting a bunch of compiler optimisation stuff.

Cool. I'll read that.

I'm on to some AST to LLVM-IR thing in an HPC-oriented European project,
so I'll get first-hand knowledge of yet another path to binary generation.

Cool! I knew that Cami & Co. are working on something like that but not that they are so far.

We need to have both options, translate to C and to native code. One reason why I tried to make the translator standalone is to help to finally make VMMaker more modular. So the question is how far can we go to keep the linkage to VM development (that takes more Smalltalk implementations into account).

Re: Pavel's CCodeGenerator works under Windows MinGW: sweet

C-code generation is what I am interested in.

To integrate with third parties, one likes to put C-code strings directly in the Slang bits.

AsmJIT, not so much. Especially if we hook a debugger to the process and what to see what’s going on…
