Interface Compiler

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Compiler
Conceptual compiler. The idea is that you create a 'workspace' with all the sources needed. Obtain or setup whatever compiler flags you want. Implement the CompilationListener, so you can get warning/error events during compilation. Then call 'compile' if you get true then compilation complete to the level you requested (via flags) - you may get some warnings flow through your listener. If you get false - then you will have got one or more errors (maybe some warnings). Note that the workspace will need a list of all the files, as these still need parsing and adding to the IR. But if their generated output already exists then the compiler can avoid regenerating the same output if the source for that output has not been altered.

    • compile

      boolean compile(Workspace workspace, CompilerFlags flags)
      HERE FOR COMPILER ENTRY. Compile what has been provided via some sort of workspace. Expect that errors, warnings and the like are emitted through some type of event. These can then be listened to and displayed.
      Returns:
      true if compilation succeeded
