ff is a general purpose scripting language with dynamic and gradual typing.
It was developed to be easily used within C++ applications (which also means bindings for other languages should be fairly easy to implement).
- Linux or MacOS environment (WSL works too)
C++compiler that supportsc++17(tested withapple clang 11.0.3,gcc 10.2.0andgcc 9.4.0)python3(tested with3.10.0)
- Clone the repo
cd ffgit submodule update --init --recursive./make.py
Executable will appear in target/release/bin, headers and libraries in target/release/include and target/release/lib respectively.

Supported features: LOG_STDOUT_ONLY.
Supported debug features: MEM, REF, EVAL, DISASM, TOKENS, TREE, TRACE, SCOPES, GLOBALS, NOCATCH.
Build system keeps track of changed source files, and on subsequent builds will only recompile files that have changed. To force recompilation of everything, use -f flag.
To run tests execute ./make.py test (or directly with ./tests/run.sh)
Usage of run.sh: ./tests/run.py [OPTION] PROFILE [TEST...]
