freeze-prelude

Overview ¶

Command freeze-prelude regenerates internal/vm/prelude_frozen_gen.go: it compiles the embedded-Ruby prelude (internal/vm/prelude.rb) and writes its bytecode out as a Go literal (embeddedPrelude), so a closed-world binary can load the standard library without linking the front-end.

Run from the module root (see the //go:generate directive in prelude.go):

go run ./cmd/freeze-prelude

TestEmbeddedPreludeMatchesSource fails if the committed file drifts from the prelude source, prompting a regeneration.
