Warning

The compiler is still under development and is unfinished, please be peaceful if exists some bug.

The Thrush Compiler

The Thrush Compiler is tasked with converting Thrush source code (.th) into native code for each architecture, using either Just In Time (JIT) or Ahead Of Time (AOT) compilation modes, leveraging the LLVM infrastructure (LLVM-C API) during the process.

¿How it works?

Currently, the only backend available for the thrush compiler to compile is the current LLVM, using the LLVM-C API. The process consists of three parts:

1. Compilation by thrushc to LLVM bitcode (*.bc).
2. Optimization by the LLVM optimization tool (opt & llvm-lto).
3. Final compilation by clang to the target.

In summary:

Build dependencies

Important Rust crates:

• llvm-sys (v170)
• inkwell (v0.50)

Requirements for creating optimal binaries

Linux Toolchain

• Linux Toolchain (x64)

Note

The language will contain a pre-optimized toolchain repository for each operating system. This process automates the installation of the language and its entire ecosystem through the Thorium package manager.
