The Ballistic JIT Engine

“The world's fastest ARM recompiler"

Overview

This is a rewrite the dynarmic recompiler, with the goal of fixing its many flaws.

Building Ballistic

Install Dependancies

macOS

brew install cmake python3
brew install cmark llvm

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake python3
sudo apt install libcmark-dev libclang-dev llvm-dev

Fedora

sudo dnf install cmake python3 gcc-c++ cmark-devel clang-devel llvm-devel

Configure CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

macOS (If LLVM is not found)

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm) ..

Build Binaries

cmake --build .

The following executables will be created in the build/ directory:

• libBallistic.a (Static Library)
• ballistic_cli (Used for Ballistic development)
• decoder_cli (Instruction decoding tool)
• cdoc (Documentation generator)
• ballistic_tests (Test suite)

See tools/ for more information on these executables.
