  • Honey Potion: an eBPF backend for Elixir
    1 project | /r/elixir | 18 May 2023
    Hi all! We are working on an eBPF backend for Elixir. It's called Honey Potion. The project is under development, but it is possible to write some useful programs at this point. For instance, in this video, one of the guys involved explains how to write a program to count system calls.

    We have been working on an eBPF backend for the Elixir programming language. The current implementation is on this branch. EBPF is a bit like a virtual machine that runs on the Linux kernel. EBPF programs are typically used to implement network applications. The most interesting aspect of the backend is that Linux uses a verifier to ensure that eBPF programs always terminate and only access memory within allocated bounds.
  • Targetting C
    3 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 21 Jan 2023
    Hi! We have been translating Elixir to C (which we translate to eBPF) in HoneyPotion. We used mostly Chapter 15 of Appel's Modern Compiler Implementation in Java to implement the code generator (that's "15. Functional Programming Languages"). I think the choice of C has been good thus far. The implementation of Elixir's pattern matching took much work, but if we had chosen a higher level target, we would still have to translate that to eBPF. Here's the entry point for the translator.

  • Suggestion for a backend?
    5 projects | /r/Compilers | 11 Aug 2022
    We have been working on a tool that translates Elixir to eBPF. We actually translate eBPF to C. Now that we have more stuff working, I really wonder if generating C was a good choice.

    That's exactly what Honey Potion does, when we translate Elixir into Linux' eBPF!

  • Can archiso be used as a builder for another distro?

    i dont know but the header of this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/unofficial_user_repositories says to go to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Custom_local_repository also this guy did it in a github release page which sounds easy https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/unofficial\_user\_repositories#linux-nitrous https://github.com/xdevs23/linux-nitrous/releases
