Parser
|
||
|
|
================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This includes the parser and generated ast.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Parslet is really great in that it:
|
||
|
|
- does not generate code but instean gives a clean dsl to define a grammar
|
||
|
|
- uses ruby modules so one can split the grammars up
|
||
|
|
- has a seperate tranform stage to generate an ast layer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Especially the last point is great. Since it is seperate it does not clutter up the actual grammar.
|
||
|
|
And it can generate a layer that has no links to the actual parser anymore, thus saving/automating
|
||
|
|
a complete tranformation process.

Virtual Machine
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the logic that uses the generated ast to produce code, using the asm layer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Apart from shuffeling things around from one layer to the other, it keeps track about registers and
|
||
|
|
provides the stack glue. All the stuff a compiler would usually do.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also all syscalls are abstracted as functions.
