[IronPython] IronPython source code

[Dino Viehland]

Yeah, there's no good comprehensive docs.  There's some stuff in the CHM but it's more oriented towards people wanting to extend IronPython than work on it.

If there's something particular you're interested in someone can probably chime in on the list.  IronPython it's self is pretty abstracted away from generating code now (we generally just generate expression trees everywhere).  So if you're interested purely in the compiler side of things you can look at the Tokenizer->Parser->AST transformations but then we're basically done w/ code gen at that point.

You'll have an easier time understanding Sympl, a sample programming language built on the DLR, which is at http://dlr.codeplex.com. The documentation for Sympl and the DLR itself is at http://dlr.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Docs%20and%20specs&referringTitle=Documentation. From there you can "upgrade" to IronPython, but then hopefully you'll feel comfortable with just the source code. There are some old docs at http://ironpython.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=More%20Information, but really the source is your best bet.

Hi Pablo,
As far as I know there isn't any detailed documentation, but Dino
would know for sure.
