Hey all,
Earlier this week, I picked up amk's old
crack at generating parrot bytecode, and
have got it working again with imcc, the
new(er) high(er)-level parrot assembler.
Between imcc and the python compiler package,
it's actually moving pretty rapidly. Currently,
it supports:
- print
- lists, strings, ints (but no methods on them)
- assignment and multi-assignment ( x,y=1,2 )
- while, for, if/elif/else, break, continue
- math operations (+, -, *, /, %)
- boolean logic (and, or, not)
- comparison operators
- function calls
- lambda
You can browse the code here:
http://pirate.versionhost.com/viewcvs.cgi/pirate/
(See the README file for more info)
To run it, you'll need python and also to check
out and build parrot from cvs:
http://dev.perl.org/cvs/
I'm just posting here to see if anyone's interested
in helping out. There's a to-do list and help wanted
section in the README, but one thing I could *really*
use some help with is figuring out how to get the
core C types working as PMCs. A PMC is supposedly
very similar to a PyObject, so I'm wondering if it's
possible to bridge the two without doing a lot of
extra work. I just don't know enough C to judge.
Anyway, cheers. :)
Sincerely,
Michal J Wallace
