Holybpf Zig

Holybpf Zig is a Zig-based command-line compiler that translates HolyC programs into BPF bytecode for Linux BPF, Solana BPF and BPF VM emulation. It also documents Solana IDL generation, cross-program invocation support and VM-based testing and debugging.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a project is written in HolyC and its target is Linux BPF, Solana BPF or the documented BPF VM emulation environment.

Who it is for

  • Developers writing HolyC programs for Linux BPF.
  • Solana developers exploring HolyC-to-BPF compilation and IDL generation.
  • Developers who want to test or debug generated programs through the documented BPF VM mode.

Documented uses

  • Compile a HolyC source file for Linux BPF.
  • Compile a HolyC program for Solana BPF and request an IDL.
  • Use BPF VM emulation to test and debug a generated program.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The documented targets are Linux BPF, Solana BPF and BPF VM emulation.
  • The README provides a Zig build command and command-line examples, but does not state a required Zig version.
  • The project describes its current status as a working core compiler with basic examples functional.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build the compiler with Zig

Clone the repository and build its command-line compiler.

Before you start

  • Zig
  • A shell environment with Git

Steps

  1. Clone the holyBPF-zig repository.

  2. Run zig build from the repository.

Expected outcome

The README indicates that the build produces the compiler at `zig-out/bin/pible`.

Guide limitations

  • The README does not specify a Zig version or additional platform dependencies.
