# The Truffle Language Implementation Framework ## Introduction Truffle is a framework for implementing languages as simple interpreters. Together with the [Graal compiler](http://github.com/OracleLabs/GraalVM), Truffle interpreters are automatically just-in-time compiled and programs running on top of them can reach performance of normal Java. The Truffle framework provides the basic foundation for building abstract-syntax-tree (AST) interpreters that perform [self-optimizations](http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2384577.2384587) at runtime. The included TruffleDSL provides a convenient way to express such optimizations. Truffle is developed and maintained by Oracle Labs and the Institute for System Software of the Johannes Kepler University Linz. ## Building and Using Truffle Truffle and Graal use the [MX build tool](https://bitbucket.org/allr/mxtool2), which is part of this repository. To build Truffle execute: ```bash ./mx.sh build ``` The created `./build` directory contains all necessary jars and source bundles. - `truffle-api.jar` contains the framework - `truffle-dsl-processor.jar` contains the TruffleDSL annotation processor ### Maven For Maven based projects, prebuilt binaries can be included into a project by adding the following dependencies to a `pom.xml`: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>com.oracle</groupId> <artifactId>truffle</artifactId> <version>0.8</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.oracle</groupId> <artifactId>truffle-dsl-processor</artifactId> <version>0.8</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> ``` ## Resources and Documentation This repository contains the SimpleLanguage, which comes with JavaDoc documentation to demonstrate how Truffle is used. A good entry point for exploring SimpleLanguage is the [SLLanguage class](https://github.com/OracleLabs/Truffle/blob/master/truffle/com.oracle.truffle.sl/src/com/oracle/truffle/sl/SLLanguage.java). - [Truffle Tutorials and Presentations](https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Graal/Publications+and+Presentations) - [Truffle FAQ and Guidelines](https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Graal/Truffle+FAQ+and+Guidelines) - [Graal VM and Truffle/JS](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oracle-labs/program-languages/overview/index-2301583.html) on the Oracle Technology Network - [Papers on Truffle](http://ssw.jku.at/Research/Projects/JVM/Truffle.html) - [Papers on Graal](http://ssw.jku.at/Research/Projects/JVM/Graal.html) ## Contributing TODO ## License The Truffle framework is licensed under the [GPL 2 with Classpath exception](http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html).
