{1 Architecture}
|
|
|
|
The architecture of the Catala compiler is inspired by
|
|
{{: https://compcert.org/} CompCert} or the {{: https://nanopass.org/} Nanopass}
|
|
framework, and is structured around many intermediate representations connected
|
|
by successive translations passes.
|
|
|
|
Here is the recap picture of the different intermediate representations of the
|
|
Catala compiler (made with an {{: https://textik.com/#c1c1fecda5209492} ASCII diagram tool}):
|
|
|
|

| Surface AST |
|
|
| |
|
|
+---------------+
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Separate code from legislation |
|
|
* Remove syntactic sugars |

| Desugared AST |
|

{1 List of top-level modules }
|
|
|
|
Each of those intermediate representation is bundled into its own `dune` bundle
|
|
module. Click on the items below if you want to dive straight into the signatures.
|
|
|
|
{!modules: Surface Desugared Scopelang Dcalc Lcalc }
|
|
|
|
More documentation can be found on each intermediate representations here.

{ul
|
|
{li {{: surface.html} The surface representation}}
|
|
{li {{: desugared.html} The desugared representation}}
|

{li {{: scopelang.html} The scope language }}
|
|
{li {{: dcalc.html} The default calculus}}
|

{li {{: lcalc.html} The lambda calculus}}

}

|
The main compilation chain is defined in:
|
|
|
|
{!modules: Driver}
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the compiler features a verification plugin that generates
|
|
verification condition for proof backends. More information can be found here:
|
|
|
|
{!modules: Verification}
|
|
|
|
Last, two more modules contain additional features for the compiler:
|

|
|
{ul
|
|
{li {{: literate.html} Literate programming}}
|
|
{li {{: utils.html} Compiler utilities}}
|
|
}
