- 01Getting startedPrerequisites: CMake, a C++23 compiler, Clang, the LLVM SDK, Boost and toml++.
- 02Building the compilerConfigure, build and test with CMake presets on Linux, macOS and Windows.
- 03Using the compilerCommand line options, inspection modes, executables and TOML projects.
- 04How to interpret the resultsTrying Clause on an existing Erlang code base: what compiles today, what notimpl messages mean, and what to try next.
Not written yet. Meanwhile, see: Validation, Deferred-feature reporting
- 05Known differences from Erlang/OTPObservable behavior where Clause knowingly differs from OTP 29.
