Plans

• Make maru easier to approach by restructuring the code and the build process.
• Set up automated tests.
• Set up infrastructure for automatic bootstrapping through multiple stages of the compiler when new features are introduced. Details at the Build infrastructure for bootstrapping page.
• Write a parser for NASM's x86 instruction DSL and use that instead of the one checked into the repo currently.
• Embed osdefs.k into the executable.

Issues

• The following files are, probably accidentally, not checked in into the official mercurial repo:
  • test-eval.l
  • maru-nfibs.k
  • test2.c
  • maru-test2.k
  • boot-emit.l
  • irgol.k

Cooperation

• maru-dev google group
