Experimental assembly-compiled programming language. Currently a work in progress.
Goals for this project:
- compiling to x86 and x86_64
- compiling to arm32 and arm64
- bootstrapping compiler (fennec compiler written in fennec)
- utilising simple optimisations (storing values in registers, inlining functions, etc)
This usage guide only applies to the most recent release version (v0), not the development version.
While in the project folder, compile and link a fennec program for a given platform (operating system + ISA) using:
<platform>/build.sh <filename>.fen
Output file will be an executable and will end up in ./bin. Available platforms are linux_x86_32, linux_x86_64, and macos_x86_64.
The build scripts assume that the computer running the build script is on the same platform as it, so they probably wont work if used on the wrong machine. The compiler itself does not assume this, so feel free to construct new build scripts if you want to try to cross-compile.
Currently only compiles to x86 assembly and type checking is currently unimplemented. I would recommend against use in serious projects, as of yet.
Good luck!
