Parrot Virtual Machine/PCT Classes

HLLCompiler Class

The HLLCompiler class is used to help instantiate and operate a compiler for a high-level language written for Parrot. HLLCompiler coordinates the execution of the HLL grammar, and controls the conversion of the HLL from PAST to POST, from POST to PIR, and ultimately to Parrot bytecode.

This page is going to serve as a brief reference to the HLLCompiler class, and a description of how the class is used to create a compiler for an HLL.
