ChrisOS/Languages and toolchains

Languages and toolchains

Lexing, parsing, semantic analysis, intermediate forms, bytecode, JIT compilation and the ChrisC/native toolchain paths.

Scope

This volume defines the terminology and relationships required before implementation detail. General concepts remain separate from ChrisOS-specific decisions; when a chapter crosses into implementation, its source revision and relevant files are declared in frontmatter.

Core chapters

  • Compiler pipeline
  • ChrisC and CLVM
  • KCC, ChrisAsm, ChrisO and ChrisLd

Reading rule

Lower-layer details need not be memorized, but terms used by higher layers are defined before their first technical use. Diagrams show flow and responsibility; tables record contracts, layouts and states.
