What It Does

Compiles custom Rust-like language through complete compilation pipeline:

  • Lexer - Tokenization and scanning
  • Parser - Syntax analysis and AST construction
  • Type Checking - Type inference and validation
  • Lowering - High-Level IR generation with syntactic sugar removal
  • Borrow Checking - Memory safety verification
  • MIR Generation - Mid-Level IR and control flow graph construction
  • Code Generation - Machine code and multiple output formats

Supports multiple output formats:

  • Assembly - Complete x86-64 disassembly (.s)
  • Object - ELF object files for linking (.o)
  • Executable - Standalone binary executables
  • Bash Script - Shell script wrappers (.sh)
  • Library - Static libraries for reuse (.a)

Use GaiaRusted as a library in your Rust projects:

use gaiarusted::{CompilationConfig, OutputFormat, compile_files, CargoAPI, CargoBuildConfig, BuildProfile};

    let result = compile_files(&config)?;
    println!("✓ Compilation successful: {:?}", result.output_path);
    Ok(())
}

// Cargo integration
fn compile_with_cargo() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let build_config = CargoBuildConfig {
