ykmicropython

This is an experimental yk-jit-enabled fork of micropython.

Only the UNIX port is supported.

Building

All build commands are done in ports/unix.

As per the micropython build instructions, first run the initial setup commands:

$ apt install build-essential git python3 pkg-config libffi-dev # e.g. for debian
$ cd ports/unix
$ make -C ../../mpy-cross
$ make submodules

Then to build with yk support, do:

PATH=/path/to/yk/bin:$PATH YK_BUILD_TYPE=<debug|release|...> make V=1

(To build with yk debug string support, add CFLAGS_EXTRA="-DYKMP_DEBUG_STRS=1" at the end of the make invocation)

Then the vm executable can be found at ./build-standard/micropython.

run micropython with -v -v -v to see the program's bytecode annotated with yk locations.
