# q
|
||||
|
||||
A programming language that compiles down to machine code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Fast compilation
|
||||
- High performance
|
||||
- Small executables
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
git clone https://git.akyoto.dev/cli/q
|
||||
cd q
|
||||
go build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```shell

||||
./q run examples/hello
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

Entry point. It simply calls `cli.Main` which we can use for testing.

### [src/cli/Main.go](/src/cli/Main.go)

The command line interface expects a command like `build` as the first argument.
|
||||
Commands are implemented as functions in the [src/cli](src/cli) directory.
|
||||
Each command has its own set of parameters.

### [src/cli/Build.go](src/cli/Build.go)
|

### [src/cli/Build.go](/src/cli/Build.go)
|
||||
|
||||
The build command creates a new `Build` instance with the given directory and calls the `Run` method.

### [src/build/Build.go](/src/build/Build.go)
|

|

The `Build` type defines all the information needed to start building an executable file.

The name of the executable will be equal to the name of the build directory.

@ -176,24 +57,16 @@ Each function will then be translated to generic assembler instructions.
|
||||
All the functions that are required to run the program will be added to the final assembler.
|
||||
The final assembler resolves label addresses, optimizes the performance and generates the specific x86-64 machine code from the generic instruction set.

### [src/core/Function.go](/src/core/Function.go)

This is the "heart" of the compiler.
|
||||
Each function runs `f.Compile` which organizes the source code into an abstract syntax tree that is then compiled via `f.CompileAST`.
|
||||
You can think of AST nodes as the individual statements in your source code.
