Integration with Ravi

Integration with Ravi

Goals

• Ravi should be able to invoke the compiler library using a load function, supplying the source as the argument.
• The compiler library needs to be able to construct the data structures such as closure, proto, etc. in Ravi runtime.

Ravi Compiler Interface

To facilitate the compiler and Ravi interaction, we have an interface defined in ravi_api.h. This interface is used by Ravi to invoke the compiler.

The exported function raviX_compile() is implemented by the compiler library.

The functions in this interface are provided by the host Ravi environment. These functions support all the data structure manipulations as well as C to binary translation that is expected to be implemented by the host Ravi environment.
