Serene lang
Setup development environment
Setup the githook and install dependencies using the following commands:
./builder setup
Dependencies
You would need the following dependencies to start get started with Serene development
- LLVM (LLVM Instructions coming up.)
- cmake
- ninja
- doxygen (If you want to build the docs as well)
- Valgrind
- CCache (If you want faster builds specially with the LLVM)
LLVM Installation
Important Note: We're trying to keep Serene up to date with the LLVM release cycle till we get
to our first release. So we use the development version of the LLVM. Currently we are using
aff028f7d8322c625422febd3d8b9794746cdc5b
commit as our reference.
MLIR is a part of the LLVM project and in order to build it we need to build the LLVM itself as well. Here is a quick guide to build the latest version of the LLVM and MLIR.
## YES we're using the development version of MLIR
git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
mkdir llvm-project/build
cd llvm-project/build
cmake -G Ninja ../llvm \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/target/path \
-DLLVM_PARALLEL_COMPILE_JOBS=7 \
-DLLVM_PARALLEL_LINK_JOBS=1 \
-DLLVM_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="X86" \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=ON \
-DLLVM_CCACHE_BUILD=ON \
-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON \
-DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='clang;lldb;lld;mlir;clang-tools-extra;compiler-rt' \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang \ # If you have clang installed already
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ \ # If you have clang installed already
-DLLVM_ENABLE_LLD=ON
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target check-mlir
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/target/location -P cmake_install.cmake
You need to have clang
and lld
installed to compile the LLVM with the above command. Also if you
are not using ccache
just remove the option related to it from the above command.
Emacs
If you're using Emacs as your development environment just install clangd
and lsp
.
Heads up for devs
While you're working on Serene be mindful of:
-
In
DEBUG
mode we dynamically link againstlibsan
due to the fact that we build thelibserene
as a shared lib by default. This means we need toLD_PRELOAD
thelibclang_rt
before we run any executable. If you're using thebuilder
script you're all set otherwise you can run an executable like:LD_PRELOAD=$(clang -print-file-name=libclang_rt.asan-x86_64.so) /path/to/executable
How to build
In order to build for development (Debug mode) just use ./builder build
to setup the build and build
the project once and then you can just use ./builder compile
to build the changed files only.
Check out the builder
script for more subcommands and details.
