ls - linuxscript

home │ ls │ nar │ nmps

LinuxScript (stylized name - linuxscript) is a simple programming language based on Linux x86_64 system calls.

Compiler

linuxscript compiler (lsc) is small tool to translate code written in linuxscript to assembly. This compiler is early stage and for now is really small, but contains all tools used to generate assembly.
Assembler and Linker are not delivered, because, as UNIX Philosophy says - "do one thing and do it well". Why build in assembler and linker, where you can get nasm from your package manager, and you probably already have linker delivered with your distro.

Examples

Working example

Example code that just will run and do nothing:
# Example comment
main(void)
{
}

This example code can be compiled with lsc, but also any C compiler. lsc compilation command:
$ lsc < code.ls > code.asm && nasm -felf32 -o code.o code.asm && ld -o code code.o

Not working examples (for now)

Other example, for now not working, but syntax like this is planned:
# Simple "hello, world" program
main(void)
{
 write(1, "hello, world", 11);
}

Another example, this time more futuristic also planned, but not for now:
# Simple "hello, world" program in higher-level way
# Here will be probably some "include" of higher level lib

main(void)
{
 print("Hello, world!");
}

And last example - higher level, but cross-compilable with C
# Simple "hello, world" program in higher-level way

#include <stdio.h>
#define print puts

main(void)
{
 print("Hello, world!");
}

TODO

For now, lsc is in early stage, and it is only tool delivered with linuxscript tools, don't even try to use it in production stage.
