arblang

This repository contains the functionality necessary to build an end-to-end compiler for the arblang DSL.

The arblang DSL specifications can be found under doc/specifications, but not all features described in the DSL are supported by this initial version of the arblang compiler.

The documentation for the compiler functionality is contained in the source code.

To test the compiler:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j compiler
$ ./bin/compiler -o output_name -N namespace /path/to/arblang/source

This will generate 2 files: output_name.hpp and output_name_cpu.cpp, written against arbor's mechanism ABI, which can be compiled into a catalogue to be used by the arbor CPU simulation using arbor-build-catalogue.

To run the unit tests:

$ make -j unit
$ ./bin/unit
