Miden IR
This repository provides a compiler for the Miden VM, specifically for Miden Assembly. It does this by lowering from a higher-level intermediate representation intended as a target for source language frontends. This repo defines not only the compiler and associated tooling, but the IR and code generation libraries as well.
This project is a work-in-progress, stay tuned for updates as things develop.
While there is a standalone midenc compiler provided here, the compiler backend is intended and able to be used as a library by Rust-based compilers that wish to target the Miden VM without having to do the code generation work themselves.
Building
You'll need to have Rust installed (at time of writing, we're doing development against Rust 1.67).
Additionally, you'll want to have cargo-make installed:
$ cargo install cargo-make
From there, you can build all of the tooling used for the compiler, including the compiler itself with:
$ cargo make
To build just the compiler:
$ cargo make midenc
This will build the compiler frontend and place it under the bin folder in the project root.
$ bin/midenc help compile
Usage: midenc compile [OPTIONS] [-- <INPUTS>...]
Arguments:
[INPUTS]...
Path(s) to the source file(s) to compile.
You may also use `-` as a file name to read a file from stdin.
Options:
--output-dir <DIR>
Write all compiler artifacts to DIR
-W <LEVEL>
Modify how warnings are treated by the compiler
[default: auto]
Possible values:
- none: Disable all warnings
- auto: Enable all warnings
- error: Promotes warnings to errors
-v, --verbose
When set, produces more verbose output during compilation
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
Testing
To run the compiler test suite:
$ cargo make test
This will run all of the unit tests in the workspace, as well as all of our literate tests, which are executed by the filecheck helper found in the tools folder.
Packaging
TBD
