Goahead

Goahead is an AOT compiler for JVM classes targeting the Go runtime. It is a work in progress and not very usable in its current state.

Introduction

Usage

(TODO - several details are still being fleshed out)

Building

This is built in Scala with SBT. Simply run any SBT command, e.g. sbt package.

Building the Runtime

Download Zulu JDK 9 and extract it. Set the ZULU_JDK_HOME environment variable to the extracted path. Run the following:

sbt buildRt

The resulting code will be written to libs/java/rt alongside the existing code prefixed with aaa.

Testing

There is a light weight testing runtime that has to be built. To build it, perform the same sets as "Building the Runtime" above except run this instead:

sbt buildTestRt

Once a test RT is present, make sure that GOPATH is set and this repository is checked out at $GOPATH/src/github.com/cretz/goahead. Then simply run:

sbt test
