CST-Lisp - Compiled Static Typed Lisp

Hello, this is my experimental programming language based on LLVM libraries.

At this stage it's pretty basic, thus I recommend you to lower your expectations. Please refrain from using this code in production for now.

Dependencies:

• LLVM 7.0.1
• ANTLR 4.7.2 with C++ runtime

Supported features

In no particular order:

• All low-level types that LLVM supports: bool, i8/u8, i16/u16, i32/u32, i64/u64, i128/u128, f16, f32, f64
• User-defined structs
• Mutable and immutable variables (immutable by default)
• Conditional branches
• Loops
• Binary arithmeric and logic operators
• Type inference
• User-defined functions and external functions from DLLs
• Lambdas and closures

Examples

Demo application source and output

Importing external functions

Please note that comments after function declarations are added for clarity, they're not used by the compiler.

(defun rand () i32) ; libc: int rand(void) (defun sinf (f32) f32) ; libc: float sinf(float) (defun cosf (f32) f32) ; libc: float cosf(float) (defun puts (&u8) i32) ; libc: int puts(const char*)

declare dllimport i32 @rand() declare dllimport float @sinf(float) declare dllimport float @cosf(float) declare dllimport i32 @puts(i8*)

Declaring constants and functions

(define string-constant "This is a string constant") (define float-constant 3.14) (define named-lambda (lambda () f32 (+ float-constant 2))) (defun get-float () f32 float-constant) (defun test-func-with-args ([x f32] [y f64]) f32 y x)

Declaring functions inside functions inside functions

(defun test-lambda (i128) f32 ((lambda () f32 ((lambda ([root_value f32]) f32 ((lambda ([in_value f32]) f32 (puts "test-lambda") (+ (/ in_value (get-float)) (* (+ 1.22 in_value) 2))) 42.5)) (named-lambda)))))

Declaring local variables and local lambdas

(defun test-scope () u32 (let ([x 42]) ((lambda () u32 (+ x (rand)))))) (defun test-scope-lambda () i32 (let ([x (lambda (f16) i32 (rand))]) (x 0.2)))

(defun test-cond-if () void (cond [0 (puts "cond failed")] [else (puts "cond passed")])) (defun test-cond () void (cond [0 (puts "0 is false, this should not happen")] [1 (puts "1 is true")] [2 (puts "2 is true, but this should not happen")] [3 (puts "3 is also true, however this is should not happen too")] [else (puts "else, we'll never see this one") (puts "if we ever see this message - something is seriously broken")]))

Declaring and using mutable variables

(defun test-scope-mutable () void (let ([x #:mutable i32 0]) (cond [(= 0 x) (puts "Mutable test passed")] [else (puts "Mutable test failed")]) (set x (+ x 42)) (cond [(= 42 x) (puts "Mutable test passed")] [else (puts "Mutable test failed")])))

define internal void @test-scope-mutable() { __funcbody: %0 = alloca i32 store i32 0, i32* %0 %1 = load i32, i32* %0 %2 = icmp eq i32 0, %1 br i1 %2, label %cond_0_body, label %cond_1_test cond_1_test: ; preds = %__funcbody br label %cond_1_body cond_0_body: ; preds = %__funcbody %3 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([20 x i8], [20 x i8]* @__str_literal.7, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next cond_1_body: ; preds = %cond_1_test %4 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([20 x i8], [20 x i8]* @__str_literal.8, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next cond_next: ; preds = %cond_1_body, %cond_0_body %5 = phi i32 [ %3, %cond_0_body ], [ %4, %cond_1_body ] %6 = load i32, i32* %0 %7 = add i32 %6, 42 store i32 %7, i32* %0 %8 = load i32, i32* %0 %9 = icmp eq i32 42, %8 br i1 %9, label %cond_0_body2, label %cond_1_test1 cond_1_test1: ; preds = %cond_next br label %cond_1_body3 cond_0_body2: ; preds = %cond_next %10 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([20 x i8], [20 x i8]* @__str_literal.9, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next4 cond_1_body3: ; preds = %cond_1_test1 %11 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([20 x i8], [20 x i8]* @__str_literal.10, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next4 cond_next4: ; preds = %cond_1_body3, %cond_0_body2 %12 = phi i32 [ %10, %cond_0_body2 ], [ %11, %cond_1_body3 ] ret void }

Using explicit type casts

define internal void @test-type-cast() { __funcbody: br i1 true, label %cond_0_body, label %cond_1_test cond_1_test: ; preds = %__funcbody br label %cond_1_body cond_0_body: ; preds = %__funcbody %0 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([22 x i8], [22 x i8]* @__str_literal.53, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next cond_1_body: ; preds = %cond_1_test %1 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([22 x i8], [22 x i8]* @__str_literal.54, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next cond_next: ; preds = %cond_1_body, %cond_0_body %2 = phi i32 [ %0, %cond_0_body ], [ %1, %cond_1_body ] ret void }

Using loops

(defun test-loop () void (cond [(= 3 (loop ([x i16 0 (< x 4) (+ x 1)]) do (puts "Loop iteration") x)) (puts "loop test passed")] [else (puts "loop test failed")]))

define internal void @test-loop() { __funcbody: %0 = alloca i16 store i16 0, i16* %0 br i1 true, label %loop_body, label %loop_next cond_1_test: ; preds = %loop_next br label %cond_1_body cond_0_body: ; preds = %loop_next %1 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([17 x i8], [17 x i8]* @__str_literal.56, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next cond_1_body: ; preds = %cond_1_test %2 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([17 x i8], [17 x i8]* @__str_literal.57, i64 0, i64 0)) br label %cond_next cond_next: ; preds = %cond_1_body, %cond_0_body %3 = phi i32 [ %1, %cond_0_body ], [ %2, %cond_1_body ] ret void loop_body: ; preds = %loop_body, %__funcbody %4 = load i16, i16* %0 %5 = call i32 @puts(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([15 x i8], [15 x i8]* @__str_literal.55, i64 0, i64 0)) %6 = add i16 %4, 1 store i16 %6, i16* %0 %7 = icmp slt i16 %6, 4 br i1 %7, label %loop_body, label %loop_next loop_next: ; preds = %loop_body, %__funcbody %8 = phi i16 [ %4, %loop_body ], [ 0, %__funcbody ] %9 = icmp eq i16 3, %8 br i1 %9, label %cond_0_body, label %cond_1_test }
