Module

aeso_compiler

The Sophia compiler

Description

This module provides the interface to the standard Sophia compiler. It returns the compiled module in a map which can then be loaded.

Types

contract_string() = string() | binary()
contract_map() = #{bytecode => binary(),
                   compiler_version => binary(),
                   contract_souce => string(),
                   type_info => type_info()}
type_info()
errorstring() = binary()

Exports

file(File)

file(File, Options) -> CompRet

from_string(ContractString, Options) -> CompRet

Types

ContractString = contract_string()
Options = [Option]
CompRet = {ok,ContractMap} | {error,ErrorString}
ContractMap = contract_map()
ErrorString = errorstring()

Compile a contract defined in a file or in a string.

The pp_ options all print to standard output the following:

pp_sophia_code - print the input Sophia code.

pp_ast - print the AST of the code

pp_types - print information about the types

pp_typed_ast - print the AST with type information at each node

pp_icode - print the internal code structure

pp_assembler - print the generated assembler code

pp_bytecode - print the bytecode instructions

check_call(ContractString, Options) -> CheckRet

Types

ContractString = string() | binary()
CheckRet = {ok,string(),{Types,Type | any()},Terms} | {error,Term}
Types = [Type]
Type = term()

Check a call in contract through the __call function.

sophia_type_to_typerep(String) -> TypeRep

Types

 {ok,TypeRep} | {error, badtype}

Get the type representation of a type declaration.

version() -> {ok, Version} | {error, term()}

Types

Version = binary()

Get the current version of the Sophia compiler.
