About paxCompiler
paxCompiler is an embeddable compiler of the Object Pascal, Basic and JavaScript programming languages. The key features of the paxCompiler are:
- The compiler generates machine code for Intel compatible processors (IA-32 architecture).
- It is possible to use the compiler as a scripting engine. You can embed the compiler into host application, register
host-defined types, routines, variables and constants for the engine, read/write script-defined variables, call script-defined functions
etc. You can save/load compiled scripts to/from a stream.
- The compiler was initially written in Borland Delphi as a set of Delphi components.
TPaxCompiler, TPaxProgram and TPaxPascalLanguage are Delphi components that allows you to embed the paxCompiler into
Delphi,
Kylix or
Borland C++ Builder application so you can customize and extend the application without having to recompile it.
- Source code of paxCompiler is compatible with Free Pascal 2.0.
- paxCompiler, implemented as paxcompilerlib.dll, can be used for scripting
Microsoft Visual C++ applications.
- The compiler supports Object Pascal language based on the Delphi 7 standard.
Syntax of Basic language is similar to VB.NET.
- Script-defined functions support register (Borland fastcall), cdecl, stdcall, safecall, pascal and msfastcall (Microsoft fastcall) calling conventions.
- Cross-language programming support. You can use Pascal units in Basic and JavaScript programs and vice versa.
- COM support.
- TPaxCompilerDebugger and TPaxCompilerExplorer components implement debugger (breakpoints, call stack, watches, step over, trace into, run to cursor,
pause)
and code explorer capabilities.
- Script-defined types support run-time information (RTTI).
- You can bind instances of script-defined classes with dfm files.
- You can import host-defined types with paxCompiler importer.
- You can create stand alone executable files.
- Support of compiled units and run-time packages.
- paxCompiler engine is thread safe.
- The roadmap of the compiler includes: Java compiler, C++ compiler, built-in assembler.
