Hi, I am Saptak Bhoumik and I would like to say that we need more contributors to complete this project as fast as possible, if you are interested please fork this repo and contribute. If you have any question please contact me [email protected]

Any change needs to be discussed before proceeding. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of the pull request.

Please provide enough information so that others can review your pull request: I made some changed to the argument parser. Now, it will be easy to expand the cli with more commands. But, I have changed how the arguments are parsed in the cli. An example 👇

swallow compile <filename> --o=<output-file>

Explain the details for making this change. What existing problem does the pull request solve? The pull request cleans up the mess in the main function and allows the cli to expand with more commands

Code formatting The V code was formatted with v fmt. The C code was beautified with clang_format

I installed it just like described on the Github site, along with the dependencies but it just won't work whenever I type "v peregrine.v" it just does nothing I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and I have reinstalled Peregrine like 7 times already...

Please provide enough information so that others can review your pull request:

• Logos, a banner, Inkscape's .svg file, and a README.md file is added in the graphics folder.
• The banner is inserted into the README.md (NOT THE README.md IN graphics FOLDER).
• Logos with different dimensions in .png format are stored in graphics/logos folder.
• The README.md file in the graphics folder contains a description of the logos and the banner.
• There is all dark version of the logos and banner named with suffix _dark.
• View the logos and banner at here

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

No problems

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

I would like to work towards learning swallow as primary language and assist in writing docs and implementing self hosting of the language and stay a consistent contributor to this amazing project I did read contribution.md and didn't see anything about my question which is why I ask here

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Whether I can or cannot help with the documentation maybe the documentation might have this but I'd be happy make a domain or go under a docs sub domain and write comparisons of swallow and python with examples and explanations

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

If I could work towards these goals I would love to become a consistent contributor for swallow as I had my own similar ideas but my experience programming is nowhere near capable and I can see this being what I was looking for and taking a lead in tech a few years from now

Please refer to https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/issues/136 , read the thread to understand why I'm asking these questions and please answer them here :wink:.

Additionally I'd like to ask:

a) Why don't you want to join Lobster or Cython or even RPython devs instead of starting from scratch? b) How do you want to support parallel computation on multiple CPU/GPU/FPGA cores? This is by far the most important point utterly needed as explained in https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/11608 because it affects nearly all design decisions made when designing a language. This ranges from "each statement & expression is run in parallel" (Kind, ParaSail, BMDFM, DawnCC - actually not a new language but a smart compiler supporting even non-uniform platforms like big.LITTLE, ... ) through channel/pipe-based parallelism (Dao, Go, V, POSIX sh, Til, ...) to non-builtin support (i.e. pthreads, actors, structured concurrency or nurseries, etc.).

Describe the bug

When compiling the Peregrine source with the v compiler:

  v peregrine.v

I get the following error:

c:\Peregrine\Peregrine>v peregrine.v builder error: 'libtcc.h' not found

To Reproduce

1. Install v and peregrine exactly as described
2. v peregrine.v
3. See error

Expected behavior Successfull compilation of peregrine

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10/11
• V 0.2.4 43931be

Additional info The file libtcc.h lives in C:\v\thirdparty\tcc\libtcc

Add all steps necessary to run the tests automatically.

An action that compiles the language already exists.

In the action file, you will find some lines that were commented out. You can either fix the bugs and use this code or delete it and rewrite that part of the action file.

Describe the bug Asm test gives an error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run test_runner.py

Expected behavior No error.

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

I saw that your code generates C instead of assembly. Doesn't this make it a transpiler, rather than a compiler? Also, it will be as fast as C when you generate C :).

when i do not give a function all the arguments needed, the c++ compiler will give me errors. Peregrine should check this and give an error not the c++ compiler. code

def function(arg)->int:
	printf("arg: %d\n", arg)
	return 1


def main()->int:
	function()
	return 0

error
