davisp/erlang-native-compiler

This system is a stripped-down build tool for Erlang, rebranded as 'enc' (Erlang Native Compiler). It functions as a thin wrapper around the original 'rebar' codebase, delegating execution to the legacy 'rebar:main' function while removing most internal build logic and compilers. The tool retains the existing command-line interface but significantly reduces its code footprint and consolidates logging to a single module.

The INFO, WARN, and ERROR logging macros in include/rebar.hrl have been updated to call rebar:log/3 instead of rebar\_log:log/3. This change consolidates the logging interface, meaning log output is now handled directly by the rebar module rather than the separate rebar\_log module. The DEBUG macro has been removed entirely.

The \rebar\ module has been renamed to \enc\, with the new \src/enc.erl\ acting as a thin wrapper that delegates all execution to the original \rebar:main/1\ function. Simultaneously, the majority of the build tool's internal implementation has been removed from the \src\ directory, including core modules like \rebar\_core\, \rebar\_base\_compiler\, and \rebar\_app\_utils\, as well as specific compilers and utilities such as \rebar\_abnfc\_compiler\, \rebar\_asn1\_compiler\, \rebar\_appups\, \rebar\_cleaner\, \rebar\_cover\_utils\, and \rebar\_ct\. This change significantly reduces the codebase footprint while preserving the existing command-line interface through the delegation layer.

src · high confidence

The build tool application has been renamed from 'rebar' to 'enc' (Erlang Native Compiler). This change involves deleting the original rebar.app file and introducing a new enc.app file, which updates the application description and version while significantly reducing the list of included modules to a core subset (such as enc, rebar, rebar\_appups, etc.) and removing the extensive configuration for directory-specific processing modules and recursive commands found in the previous version.

ebin · high confidence

The self-contained escript used to compile Erlang native code (NIFs) has been renamed from 'rebar' to 'enc'. This change updates the generated executable name, the associated application file (enc.app), and all related build artifacts. The bootstrap script now produces an 'enc' script instead of 'rebar', and the README has been updated to reflect the new name and provide usage instructions for integrating 'enc' with rebar.config hooks.
