[mer-general] QML compiler project

2014-07-21 Thread Mikko Hurskainen 

Hi,

We have started a project to create a QML compiler. The performance, 
especially startup time performance, has been a longstanding issue with 
the QML. The QML compiler solves this issue by executing the compile 
phase of the QML at build time, rather than startup time as with JIT.


The project's basic structure is ready, there is first real example and 
it is under active development. The project targets Qt 5.3. We would 
like to invite people interested on Qml internals and compilers to 
contribute.


The project can be found at:
https://github.com/qmlc

With Best Regards,

[mer-general] QML compiler

2014-05-20 Thread Mikko Hurskainen 

Hi folks,

Digia released today Qt 5.3. One major improvement is the Qt Quick 
Compiler that accelerates startup significantly. Unfortunately it is 
available only for Enterprise customers. Are there any open source 
projects that aim to create such compiler ? Code for compiling is 
available in Qt Declarative component, would not be too difficult to 
create one.
