JIT-compiler for the programming language Dora implemented in Rust.
Works on Linux (x86\_64, aarch64) and macOS (x86\_64).
Build with:

## Dependencies
You need to install these dependencies:

```
# on Fedora
$ sudo dnf install capstone-devel ruby

# on Ubuntu/Debian
$ sudo apt install libcapstone-dev ruby

# on MacOS capstone can be installed via homebrew
$ brew install capstone
```

[Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/) is used for running tests, while [capstone](https://github.com/aquynh/capstone) is used for instruction decoding/disassembling machine code.


## Compilation & Testing
Install current Rust Nightly via [rustup.rs](http://rustup.rs). The nightly version of
Rust is needed because Dora uses some unstable features of Rust (e.g. inline assembly).

Dora uses [cargo](http://crates.io) for building, which is bundled with Rust:

```
# install last nightly and use it for this project
rustup update nightly
rustup override set nightly

# run all tests in debug and release mode
tools/test
tools/test-release
```
