⚠️ DISCONTINUATION OF PROJECT - This project will no longer be maintained by Intel. Intel has ceased development and contributions including, but not limited to, maintenance, bug fixes, new releases, or updates, to this project. Intel no longer accepts patches to this project. If you have an ongoing need to use this project, are interested in independently developing it, or would like to maintain patches for the open source software community, please create your own fork of this project.
This repository contains the following libraries and tools that are
part of the overall FLRC tool-chain. Strictly speaking, they
are a pre-requisite to using FLRC, but not for compiling FLRC. But
due to installation path dependencies, flrc-lib should be installed
before flrc.
-
A translator from Pillar to C++ (
pilla2c). -
Pillar Runtime (
prt). -
Pillar Toolkit (
ptkfuture). -
Garbage collector (
tgc), and its pillar interface (pgc). -
Bash scripts (
piliclandpilink) to help compile and link Pillar programs.
All released code has only been tested to work on x86 64-bit Linux distros, although they were originally written for x86 32-bit Windows.
The installation uses the typical autoconf/automake facilities on Linux. It also requires a C/C++ compiler (gcc or icc), and an assembler (nasm) to compile.
To install:
sh bootstrap.sh
./configure --prefix=${PREFIX}
make && make install
If successful, all related libraries and scripts will be installed
under the given path ${PREFIX}.
These libraries and tools are mostly intended to be used by FLRC. Please use the issue track if you have questions.
