qat is closer to your machine's heart. A superfast, modern systems language for reliable & maintainable code...
- Changes in data are obvious by design
- Advanced compile-time execution & configuration
- Safe pointer types
- Built-in memory management features
- Expressive & flexible syntax
- Simplistic approach to systems programming
- Modular & customisable build process
If you are facing issues with the language, create an issue.
Requirements:
- CMake 3.16.3 minimum - Latest recommended
- LLVM 19 (llvm + lld + clang) - Static libraries
- Boost 1.86 (Boost.Filesystem) - Static libraries
Make sure that the LLVM & Boost builds are in release mode, if you are building those yourself.
To configure the CMake project, run cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${HOME}/dev/qat" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_DIR="/path/to/llvm" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="clang++-19" -DBOOST_DIR="/path/to/boost" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="clang-19" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS=1 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_WORKS=1 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=false -GNinja -S src/ -B build/
To build, run cmake --build build --config Release --target install
The above command installs the language in the directory ${HOME}/dev/qat, which is the recommended installation path for unix-like systems. Feel free to make changes to the above configuration to suit your needs.
