tt Programming Language Backend Architecture

Goals

• Easy support for different architectures and OSs
• Easily Optimisable on most levels
• Good Performance

Architecture

AST --> Type Checking --> TAST --> IR Emission --> TTIR --> Codegen --> ASM --> Emit --> FASM -> Binary

TTIR: TT Intermediate Representation is the Representation that the AST gets turned into. This will be mostly be used for optimissing and abstracting away from Assembly TAST: Typed Ast

Type Checking

Passes:

• Type Inference
• Type Checking
