Detailed Description

A code generator for the Bond scripting language.

The CodeGenerator traverses the given parse tree and compiles it to bytecode that can be interpreted by a virtual machine. The bytecode is written to the given OutputStream in the CBO file format.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CodeGenerator()

Bond::CodeGenerator::CodeGenerator	(	Allocator &	allocator,
		CompilerErrorBuffer &	errorBuffer,
		PointerSize	pointerSize = BOND_NATIVE_POINTER_SIZE )

inline

Constructs a CodeGenerator object.

Parameters

allocator	Allocator used for temporary memory allocations made by the Generate method.
errorBuffer	Buffer where error messages are pushed when code generation errors are encountered.
pointerSize	Size of pointers used by the target virtual machine that will execute the Bond bytecode. It is required to generate correct pointer arithmetic instructions for the target platform.

◆ ~CodeGenerator()

Bond::CodeGenerator::~CodeGenerator ( )

inline

Destroys a CodeGenerator object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Generate()

void Bond::CodeGenerator::Generate	(	const TranslationUnit *	translationUnitList,
		OutputStream &	stream )

Generates bytecode for a list of parse trees.

Code is generated only for the TranslationUnits that require it. Global initializers whose values cannot be determined at compile time are combined into a single static initializer, in list order and then declaration order within each TranslationUnit.
