Getting Started with X++

All development so far has been on Manjaro Linux. I cannot confirm yet whether or not this compiler works correctly on other operating systems/environments

Pre-Requisites

CMake (min version 3.1)
LLVM
Git
Clang (supporting C++ version 17>)

Setup

Clone the X++ Compiler repository onto your local machine

# HTTPS
git clone https://github.com/joshuawills/X-PL-2.0.git

# SSH
git clone git@github.com:joshuawills/X-PL-2.0.git

Build the project using cmake -B build; cd build; make

You should now have an executable located at build/compiler

I recommend invoking the program with the -h flag to see all the options you can run the compiler with. For a simple example, write the following content to a file called hello.xpp

extern printf(i8*, ...) i32;

fn main() void {
    printf("hello, world!\n");
}

Compile the program with the command ./compiler hello.xpp -o hello and run the executable hello that is generated. Alternately, run the compiler with the additional -r flag to build and run the program in succession.
