rush-compiler-wasm

WebAssembly Compiler Backend

A single-target rush compiler backend which generates Wasm files without the need for external dependencies.

Prerequisites

Since the compiler itself requires no external dependencies, only a WebAssembly runtime is to be installed. Hence, program execution requires a Wasm runtime.

Runtime

On Arch-Linux based systems, the following package can be installed to set up a working Wasm runtime.

• wasmer for executing .wasm files

Compiling and Running rush Code

Compilation of rush Code

• Prerequisite: A file ending in .rush which contains the program.
• Execute following command as it will generate the output.wasm file from the source program.

cargo run your-program.rush

Running Wasm Files

• Since you have installed a Wasm runtime prior to reading this section, following command can be used to execute the .wasm file using this runtime.

wasmer output.wasm
