Duktape
=======

Duktape is a small and portable Ecmascript E5/E5.1 implementation.
It is intended to be easily embeddable into C programs, with a C API
similar in spirit to Lua's.

The goal is to support the full E5 feature set like Unicode strings
and regular expressions. Other feature highlights include:

* Custom types (like pointers and buffers) for C integration

* Reference counting and mark-and-sweep garbage collection
(with finalizer support)

* Co-operative threads, a.k.a. coroutines

* Tail call support

This is an early development version which is not intended for actual use.
All basic components are in place: Ecmascript compiler and executor, regexp
compiler and executor, garbage collection, data types, semantics for property
and identifier access, and initial implementations of built-in objects (with
some known issues).

However, there are (known and unknown) bugs here and there. The user API is
also not yet nearly finished, and there is still minimal documentation in this
release. API and internal documentation will be included in future releases.

To build (only Linux at the moment)::

$ scons -s -j 8

To test the command line version::

$ build/400/duk.400
duk> print('Hello world!');
[bytecode length 6 opcodes, registers 4, constants 2, inner functions 0]
Hello world!
= undefined

To run the current test suite, install node.js and then::

$ cd runtests/
$ npm install # installs dependencies
$ cd ..
$ node runtests/runtests.js --run-duk --cmd-duk=build/400/duk.400 \
--num-threads 8 --log-file=/tmp/log.txt testcases/

The source code compiles on Darwin (and maybe OSX), but you need to
change the following in src/SConscript::

- LIBS=['m', 'rt', 'readline', 'ncursesw'])
+ LIBS=['m', 'rt', 'readline', 'ncurses'])

Have fun!
