# Dart VM Compilation Pipeline
|
|
|
|
This folder contains Dart VM compilation pipeline.
|
|
|
|
Compilation pipeline is mainly responsible for converting AST or Kernel AST
|
|
into IL flow graphs and then generating native code from IL.
|
|
|
|
It has the following structure:
|
|
|
|
| Directory | What goes there |
|
|
| ------------- |-------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `assembler/` | Assemblers and disassemblers |
|
|
| `backend/` | IL based compilation backend: optimization passes and architecture specific code generation rules |
|
|
| `frontend/` | Frontends responsible for converting AST into IL |
|
|
| `jit/` | JIT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points |
|
|
| `aot/` | AOT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points |
|
|
| `.` | Shared code or code without clear designation. |
|
|
|
|
Currently there are no layering restrictions and components from different subfolders can reference each other.
