libchata!libchata is the core library behind Chata. It handles compiling, assembling, and execution of Chata code. The assembler, Ultrassembler, can assemble most RISC-V assembly, not just the kind generated from Chata code, so you can use libchata just for that if you wish!
[!WARNING] Most of libchata is currently WORK IN PROGRESS. Anything could change right now. However, Ultrassembler is ready for real world usage!
You’ll need a compiler that supports C++20, or GCC 11 and up, CMake, and Just.
Start by cloning this repo from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Slackadays/Chata
Then use just to build:
just build # This builds and installs everything
just build-lib # This builds and installs just libchata
just build-cli # This builds and installs just chatacli
There are a lot of other things you can do here:
jackson@pop-desktop:~/Chata$ just
Available recipes:
build type='Release' # build everything
build-cli type='Release' # build just chatacli
build-lib type='Release' # build just libchata
check-format # check if all code is formatted
clean # clear all CMake files for everything
clean-cli # clear all CMake files for just chatacli
clean-lib # clear all CMake files for just libchata
copy # copy all files to a remote system
default # show this list
format # format all code
generate # run codegen scripts
test # run testsuites for everything
test-lib # run testsuite for just libchata
Use copy if you want to edit the Chata project’s code but build it remotely. This runs a script to copy everything to a remote system over SSH.
Use generate if you’ve modified data that the .py codegen scripts use to generate code, or if you’ve modified the scripts themselves.
libchata into your projectStart by downloading and building libchata. Then, add #include <libchata.hpp> wherever you use its functions or objects.
If you’re not using C++, bindings for other languages are planned!
