Subject: Mes 0.15 released
I am pleased to announce the release of Mes 0.15, representing 45
commits over 3 weeks. The GNU toolchain is getting bootstrapped!
As of 0.14, Mes+MesCC compiles a self-hosting TinyCC. Using the 0.15
Mes C library, this TinyCC can build the GNU tools triplet:
binutils-2.14, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5.
This means that we can build a GNU toolchain that depends only on a
critical 1MB ASCII M1 seed. GuixSD currently uses a ~250MB binary
seed to build gcc.
Next targets are: upstream the Mes bootstrap to GuixSD, build a
Gcc-4.7 and Glibc-2.23, bootstrap utilities like bison, flex, grep,
sed..., replace GuixSD's bootstrap for x86 and reduce the 1MB ASCII M1
seed to ~5000 LOC/~100KB of M2 source, which is a restricted subset of
C.
Packages are available from Guix's wip-bootstrap branch.
* About
Mes[0] aims to help create full source bootstrapping for GuixSD[1]
as part of the bootstrappable builds[2] project.
It currently consists of a mutual self-hosting Scheme interpreter
prototype in C and a Nyacc-based C compiler in Scheme. This C
prototype is being simplified to be transpiled by M2-Planet[3].
The Scheme interpreter prototype (mes.c) has a Garbage Collector,
a library of loadable Scheme modules-- notably Dominique Boucher's
LALR[4], pre-R6RS portable syntax-case[5] with R7RS ellipsis, Matt
Wette's Nyacc[6], Guile's PEG[7] --and test suite just barely
enough to support a simple REPL (repl.mes) and simple C-compiler
MesCC.
Mes+MesCC can compile an only slightly patched TinyCC[8] that is
self-hosting. Using the Mes C library, this tcc can now build the
GNU tools triplet: binutils-2.14, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5.
Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5[9]
-- John McCarthy page 13, GNU Guix's source/binary packaging
transparency and Jeremiah Orians's stage0[10] ~300 byte self-hosting
hex assembler.
