This patch optimizes the following pattern:
for (i in first..last step st) { ... }
In this case we need to create a Progression object and then call its
iterator() method causing at least 2 allocation per loop. This change
replaces such loops with the following constuction:
var inductionVar = first
checkProgressionStep(step) // check if step > 0
last = getProgressionLastElement(first, last, step)
if (first <= last) {
do {
i = inductionVar
inductionVar += step
...
} while(i != last)
}
Kotlin/Native
Kotlin/Native is a LLVM backend for the Kotlin compiler, runtime implementation and native code generation facility using LLVM toolchain.
Kotlin/Native is primarily designed to allow compilation for platforms where virtual machines are not desirable or possible (such as iOS, embedded targets), or where developer is willing to produce reasonably-sized self-contained program without need to ship an additional execution runtime.
To compile from sources use following steps.
First download dependencies:
./gradlew dependencies:update
Then build the compiler and standard library:
./gradlew dist
To build standard library for cross-targets use:
./gradlew cross_dist
After that you should be able to compile your programs like that:
export PATH=./dist/bin:$PATH
kotlinc hello.kt -o hello
For an optimized compilation use -opt:
kotlinc hello.kt -o hello -opt
For some tests, use:
./gradlew backend.native:tests:run
To generate interoperability stubs create library definition file
(take a look on samples/tetris/.../sdl.def) and run cinterop tool like this:
cinterop -def lib.def
See provided samples and INTEROP.md for more details.
Interop tool generates library in .klib library format, see LIBRARIES.md
for more details on the file format.
