# Programming Languages in MINIX
|
|
|
|
This repository contains several languages used for the operating system and associated tools.
|
|
|
|
## C
|
|
- The bulk of MINIX is written in C.
|
|
- Code is generally built with GCC 4.8.5 or Clang 3.4.
|
|
- Most of the system follows ISO C99. Some toolchain components limit themselves to C89 for portability.
|
|
|
|
## C++
|
|
- A limited amount of C++ exists, primarily in external packages.
|
|
- Supported with GCC 4.8.5 (including libstdc++ and g++) and Clang 3.4.
|
|
- C++11 features are available.
|
|
|
|
## Assembly
|
|
- Assembly sources use the GNU assembler syntax.
|
|
- These files are compiled as part of the normal build through GCC or clang.
|
|
|
|
## Go
|
|
- LLVM bindings include Go code.
|
|
- Requires a Go compiler at least version 1.2.
|
|
|
|
## Python
|
|
- Some build scripts and tests use Python 2.7 or newer.
|
|
- Python 3 is also supported by parts of the tree.
|
|
|
|
## AWK
|
|
- Several utilities rely on POSIX AWK scripts.
|
|
|
|
## Shell
|
|
- Numerous build scripts use the POSIX shell.
