Unlocking the Power of C Across All Languages: Discover theKernel

The world of software development often faces a fundamental challenge: harnessing the unparalleled performance and vast ecosystem of C libraries while building applications in modern, higher-level programming languages. Traditionally, this requires creating complex, language-specific bindings for each library and each target language.

But what if there was a way to bridge this gap seamlessly, enabling you to

Write Once → Run Everywhere ?

Enter theKernel, a revolutionary infrastructure designed to provide a programming-language-independent-interface between a C librarie and a multitude of Target-Programming-Language (TPL). At its core lies the Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK), implemented primarily by the C library tclmkkernel. This isn't just another binding generator; it's a comprehensive system that defines an object-layer and manages the interaction between your robust C code and diverse language environments.

The strategic approach is described as taking

4 years to write a programming-language, but it only takes 4 weeks to insert a micro-kernel.

The magic happens through a sophisticated object-interface and an api-layer automatically generated by the meta-code-compiler (META-COMPILER).

PROGRAMMING

This structure is clearly defined by separating concerns into three distinct programming layers:

1. the library-layer (tclmkkernel),
2. the tool-layer (theCompiler and build tools),
3. the target-layer (the API seen by the Target-Programming-Language (TPL) programmer).

library-layer

The library-layer implement the tclmkkernel library and is responsible for the quality-target of the entire project.

• implementation of the managed-object technology
  • providing basic classes for: buffer, list, stream, logging, runtime and error
• establishing and managing the library-items
  • providing the startup and cleanup API
  • providing the logging, debugging and error API
  • providing the memory and garbage-collection API
• written in plain C

tool-layer

The tool-layer creates the tools and is responsible for the integration of all components into the NHI1 framework.

• implementation of the project and build technology.
• implementation of the token-stream-compiler technology
• generate the source-code for the target-layer.
• written in plain C, TCL and the Target-Programming-Language (TPL)

target-layer

The target-layer is the API used by the target-language-programmer.

• written in plain Target-Programming-Language (TPL)
