Role of C++ Interpreter in ROOT

o Load/Store C++ objectsoRuntime Dynamism

• TFile::Open(“http://...”)• gDirectory->Get(“hist”)• python runReco.py

o Fast Prototyping

Limited C++ language support for reflection and type introspection.

LLVM Toolchain As an Alternative

o LLVM Core “The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies...”

• More than 120 active contributorsApple, ARM, Google, Qualcomm, QuIC, NVidia, AMD and more

• ~250 commits/weekoClang

“The goal of the Clang project is to create a new C, C++, Objective C and Objective C++ front-end for the LLVM compiler.“

Cling's Dual Personality

oAn interpreter – looks like an interpreter and behaves like an interpreterCling follows the read-evaluate-print-loop (repl) concept.

oMore than interpreter – built on top of compiler libraries (Clang and LLVM)Contains interpreter parts and compiler parts. More of an interactive compiler or an interactive compiler interface for clang.

5

No need to compile Cling/ROOT with Clang/LLVM or having clang installed on the OS

Cling Is Better Than CINT

o Full C++ support incl. C++11o Stable and informative intermediate representations of the

sourceoBeing developed with the vision to be used in multithreaded

environment (an interpreter object per thread)

o TransactionCling represents the incremental input as a set of AST nodes.

o Transaction TransformersCling enables each transaction to be further customized by other clients by implementing a transaction transformer.

o Interpreter CallbacksImplements callbacks for the “interesting” events.

LLVM EE-s have complete target info Thus calling into compiled libraries is not an issue.

No boundary interpreted/compiled world Possible to derive from compiled classes, proper calculation of offsets and so on.

Challenges

o Incompatible concepts like compilation and interpretationMany tasks that are trivial for an interpreter become a nightmare for a compiler.

oMake C++ usable at the promptIncorporate the experience we have with CINT. First step: adopt the successful usability extensions from CINT.
