A language for specifying the layout of a one-dimensional address space, particularly for garbage collectors and manual memory managers written in Rust and C/C++.
Floorplan is written in Haskell and must be built with either stack or cabal. If you just want to build and install Floorplan globally on your system you can do the following:
$ cabal install flp
This will pull the latest stable release of Floorplan from
Hackage and install the flp
executable
globally. If instead you wish to make modifications to the compiler or to
reference it directly from another Haskell project, you can pull the
master branch of this repo and build the project like follows:
$ git clone --branch master https://github.com/RedlineResearch/floorplan.git
$ cd floorplan && stack build
...
Completed 2 action(s).
At which point you can compile, for example, the file examples/immix/layout.flp
with
the build-immix
script:
$ ./build-immix
...
Compiling immix_rust v0.0.1 (/home/karl/w/flp/examples/immix)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 4.56s
This script ensures the Floorplan compiler is built, installs it for your current
user, and then builds the Immix project which itself invokes the Floorplan compiler
to build the file examples/immix/src/heap/layout.flp
.
In order to run the compiler against some other .flp
file, the compiler can
be run directly as follows:
stack exec flp [path/to/layout.flp] [path/to/generated.rs]
Note that to build a Rust file generated in this manner,
you must include the flp-framework
to your Cargo dependencies, and flp-compiler
to your cargo build-dependencies. The latter is simply a wrapper for calling out
to the (already stack-installed) flp compiler, and the framework crate contains
necessary macros and address types that generated Rust code uses.
The skeleton of a Rust cargo project is given in the genrs/
directory of this
repo, which can be copied over and modified to support the needs of a memory
manager other than immix-rust.
C/C++ output is under active development. Regardless of which output type is chosen
(.c
, .h
, or .hpp
), the compiler will output the same C-like code. This is
expected to work with a recent version of the Clang compiler, but will likely work
just as fine under a modern verison of GCC.
When reporting an issue with the C output mode of the Floorplan compiler, please check first or have a reasonable belief that the same issue happens with Clang. Modifications to the compiler which tailor the output to different C compilers are more than welcome, but we intend to primarily support Clang as a backend toolchain.
A customized version of the language-rust
package is included in the deps/
directory of this repo, which adds support for
directly splicing of host language expressions into quasiquoted Rust code. This is the
mechanism by which Floorplan generates Rust code.
If you want to help maintain or contribute new code to this project, feel free to make a pull request or better yet start an issue in the the Issues tracker so that you can get our feedback along the way. A number of avenues for work on the compiler exist, including but not limited to:
app/semantics.hs
) directly into the project
src/
hierarchy.proofs/*.v
files.
