codegen

Overview ¶

Package codegen translates the Meow AST into Go source code. The generated code depends on the meowrt runtime package for dynamic typing.

Generated Code Structure ¶

The output is a self-contained Go main package with the following layout:

package main
import meow "github.com/135yshr/meow/runtime/meowrt"
// user-defined functions
func main() { /* top-level statements */ }

All Meow values are represented as meow.Value at runtime.

Runtime Dependency ¶

Generated code calls functions from the meowrt package for arithmetic, comparisons, built-in operations (nya, lick, picky, curl), and pattern matching.

Supported Constructs ¶

• Variable declarations and assignments
• Function definitions and calls (including lambdas)
• Arithmetic, comparison, and logical operators
• If/else, while loops
• List literals and index access
• Pipe expressions (|=|)
• Error recovery expressions (~>)
• Pattern matching (peek)
• Error raising (hiss) and recovery (gag/isFurball)

Usage ¶

gen := codegen.New()
goSource, err := gen.Generate(prog)
