Installing and Running (MacOS)
Note: I've only tested this on MacOS.
You will need LLVM 17 installed before you install cyclang, runn the following command
brew install llvm@17
Then the easiest way to install the binary currently is through the Rust package manager Cargo - see Install Rust. Once the step above is done, then run
cargo install cyclang
Test
Ensure you have the /bin folder set up (this will dump LLVM IR). Run tests through make test.
Debugging Release Mode Errors
If getting errors with the release mode then use Rust Sanitizer flags to debug.
Run the following command to identify memory issues
RUSTFLAGS="-Z sanitizer=address" cargo run --target={TARGET_ARCH} --release -- --file ./examples/simple.cyclo --output-llvm-ir
Where target architecture is your architecture i.e aarch64-apple-darwin
Also set proc_macro2 -> 1.66 if using Rust nightly compiler in the Cargo.toml
proc-macro2 = { version = "1.0.66", features=["default", "proc-macro"] }
