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 9080e21906a162cb2aabcd214d62fa3e463b7675 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_EXTERNAL_PROJECTS=iwyu \ # Only if you want to enable the 'Include what you use' tool
        -DLLVM_EXTERNAL_IWYU_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/iwyu \
        -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 against libsan due to the fact that we build the libserene as a shared lib by default. This means we need to LD_PRELOAD the libclang_rt before we run any executable. If you're using the builder 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

Build the devtools

We have our own version of `mlir-opt` which is `slir-opt` and also we have an LSP server for SLIR too. Both are in the devtools directory and in order to build them all you need to do is to use -DSERENE_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS=ON parameter with cmake for example ./builder build -DSERENE_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS=ON will do the job for you.

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.
