NAME
IMCC - documentation
VERSION
OVERVIEW
IMCC is the Intermediate Code Compiler for Parrot. It's integrated into the parrot executable.
IMCC compiles a language called Parrot Intermediate Representation (PIR). PIR is the primary target of language implementations. PIR code files usually have the extension .pir. At times in the past the extension .imc was used as well, but .pir is preferred and .imc will soon be deprecated.
This document describes available IMCC documentation, located in docs/imcc unless otherwise described.
See also the general Parrot documentation, located in docs.
