The RakuAST project was a rewrite and redesign of the compiler frontend, i.e. the part that parses the original source code, figures out what the different parts are, does checks and optimizations and creates a low level representation which will then be turned into bytecode by the backend. When I applied for the grant a lot of basic infrastructure was already in place. Many simple programs would already run, e.g. you could define variables, classes, functions, create objects, call methods and

The other goal of the course is to give a taste of modern software development, specifically: test-driven development, version control, and the stress on reading, comprehending and extending code rather than writing from scratch. The characteristic of the course is an iterative, incremental development: we start with the most trivial source language, develop the full compiler for it, and then keep extending the source language and the compiler in small steps, reusing the earlier work as much as

Compiler Options Hardening Guide for C and C++ by the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) Best Practices Working Group, 2025-03-28 This document is a guide for compiler and linker options that contribute to delivering reliable and secure code using native (or cross) toolchains for C and C++. The objective of compiler options hardening is to produce application binaries (executables) with security mechanisms against potential attacks and/or misbehavior. Hardened compiler options should a

BCX is FREEWARE and OPEN SOURCE BCX converts your BCX BASIC source code into high performing, efficient C\C++ source code. Use C\C++ libraries and header files without having to first convert them into BASIC. BCX is great for long time BASIC lovers, as well as anyone looking for an easy to grasp, rational approach to creating small, fast, native code Windows Desktop apps. BCX uses traditional BASIC statements, commands and functions, along with many new features for easily creating 32/64 bit

A Guide to Undefined Behavior in C and C++, Part 1 Also see Part 2 and Part 3. Programming languages typically make a distinction between normal program actions and erroneous actions. For Turing-complete languages we cannot reliably decide offline whether a program has the potential to execute an error; we have to just run it and see. In a safe programming language, errors are trapped as they happen. Java, for example, is largely safe via its exception system. In an unsafe programming languag

LLVM Fortran Levels Up: Goodbye flang-new, Hello flang! By David Spickett #Flang , #MLIR 33 minute read LLVM has included a Fortran compiler “Flang” since LLVM 11 in late 2020. However, until recently the Flang binary was not flang (like clang ) but instead flang-new . LLVM 20 ends the era of flang-new . The community has decided that Flang is worthy of a new name. The “new” name? You guessed it, flang . A simple change that represents a major milestone for Flang. This article will cov

A big albeit late feature landed today for the upcoming GCC 15 compiler... The COBOL programming language front-end has been merged!The GNU Compiler Collection in recent months has seen a resurgence in activity around COBOL language support . The 134k+ lines of code adding a COBOL front-end for GCC is an unexpected surprise to see merged now in the year 2025. COBOL isn't as popular as it once was especially during an era in which Rust is taking much of the spotlight, but at least it's more pract

YJIT can make Ruby code run faster, but this is a balancing act, because the JIT compiler itself must consume both memory and CPU cycles to compile and optimize your code while it is running. Furthermore, in large-scale production environments such as those of GitHub, Shopify and Stripe, we end up in a situation where YJIT is compiling the same code over and over again on a very large number of servers, which seems very inefficient. In this presentation, we will go over the design of ZJIT, a ne

We’re excited to announce the official launch of our effcc Compiler Playground, a new, interactive software ecosystem for our processor. For the first time, developers can now sign up to experience the performance of our breakthrough processor architecture and see first-hand how it can offer orders of magnitude greater energy efficiency. As developers ourselves, we have experienced the frustrations of compiler friction and complexity. The effcc Compiler Playground was created to offer an int

No, it is not a compiler error. It is never a compiler error. When I used to hang out in the comp.lang.c Usenet group, back when there was a comp.lang.c Usenet group, people would show up fairly often with some program they had written that didn't work, and ask if their compiler had a bug. The compiler did not have a bug. The compiler never had a bug. The bug was always in the programmer's code and usually in their understanding of the language.

TinyCompiler: a compiler in a week-end Introduction Have you ever wondered how a compiler works, but you never found courage to find out? Then this series of articles is for you. I have never had the chance to look under the hood either, but one week-end I have decided to to write a translator from the esoteric programming language wend (short for week-end), which I just invented myself, into regular GNU assembly. The goal is to keep the code as tiny as possible, 500-ish lines of python sounds
