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.
