Panther Compiler Infrastructure and Toolchain, and the home of the Panther programming language. PCIT (pronounced "P-Kit") relies on the LLVM-Project, but that is not guaranteed forever. It is written entirely in C++, but a self-hosted version (written entirely in Panther) is planned.
Note
This is in the very early stages and as such is not usable yet. If you really want to try it now (without any documentation), you can modify pthr/main.cpp.
Check out the PCIT website for more information about all of the tools in the PCIT-Project.
- Panther: Statically typed, compiled, high-performance, general-purpose programming language
- PIR: Compiler IR / optimizing back-end
- PLNK: Linker that aims to make use between platforms (including cross-compilation) as seamless as possible.
The build instructions can be found here.
The versioning scheme is as follows: [major].[release].[minor].[patch]. A "release" is the number of the release within the major version. This is zero-indexed if major is >= 1, otherwise it is one-indexed. Any versions within releases is not expected to necessarily be bug-free and stable.
For brevity, the minor and patch may be left off (making it just [major].[release])
- 0.1: (the first release)
Panther/pthrworking enough to give to testers. Some major features will be missing. Some documentation will exist- Bare-bones version of the Linker library will also be working
- Bare-bones version of PIR library
- 0.2:
- Some missing features of Panther added
- in-between:
- TBD
- 1.0:
- The project is "released" and is production ready
List of changes for each version can be found here. Note: very small changes may not be listed.
