Stefan Koch has written a good part of an interpreter for D
AST, no? And I guess the lexing and parsing stage doesn't take
so long, whereas not having to link saves much time.
So is there any way to repurpose his work on ctfe to have an
interpreter that you can call at run time, set context for and
get return values back?
No there is not.
First it's woefully incomplete and secondly it's tightly bound
to dmd, and it's semantic phases
Maybe it's incomplete today, but some day it will be or could be
finished. And whilst I understand the difficulty of working with
the dmd codebase as it's structured today, why is it
intrinsically a problem that your work is bound to dmd?
T - interesting idea about ldc though that's a bit slower than
dmd.
