JavaScript-to-C AOT compiler. Currently an incomplete work-in-progress, useful for compiling small test programs.

To try it out, requirements are a bash shell, node, and gcc. You may need to do npm install to restore node_modules.

Compile the test program: make test/test-hello.js The compiled program is generated in the .obj folder, try it out with: .obj/tmp

Although there is runtime support for some operations, the generated program is not interpreted. Conceptually, it is somewhat similar to what a JIT compiler would generate.

There is a small test suite in folder ./test/suite which can be run using the command make tests. To clean the output .obj directory, use make clean.

Some of the stuff that is already implemented: JS primitives, objects, properties and accessors, arrays, functions, closures, exceptions, loops and conditions, operators, destructuring assignment, bigints, generators, map and set, garbage collection.

Much still left to do: proxy and reflect, classes, promise, async, regular expressions, import/export and modules, improve conditionals, improve optimizations, improve runtime support library.
