qk

This is my work in progress compiler for a custom language I'm designing.

Building

git clone git@github.com:marzeq/qk.git
cd qk
git config core.hooksPath .githooks # if you plan to contribute

go generate ./stdlib # typecheck the embedded QK standard library
go build ./cmd/qkc   # or run 'go run ./cmd/qkc' directly

Supported platforms

For the compiler itself

Linux, macOS, and Windows hosts are supported when the required LLVM 22, Clang C++, and LLD development libraries are available. Linux is currently the most extensively exercised host.

For compiling code with the compiler

The compiler supports recognised 32-bit and 64-bit target architectures. C ABI aggregate lowering is currently limited to the documented target families.

Dependencies

Building the compiler

Reasonably modern Go version
A C++17 compiler
LLVM and Clang 22 development headers
LLVM 22, Clang C++, and LLD driver libraries

The headers and libraries must be visible to cgo's C++ compiler and linker. On Windows, use an LLVM build compatible with the selected cgo toolchain and set CGO_CXXFLAGS/CGO_LDFLAGS when it is installed outside standard search paths.

Docs

docs/docs.md is the language and compiler reference.

Contributing

I don't really see a point in accepting contributions at this stage, but you may try I guess, maybe I'll like your changes.
