7.9. aot — AOT Generation Driver

The aot tool compiles .das files ahead of time into C++ for linking into a host application. It is what the C++ integration tutorial scaffolds (tutorials/integration/*/CMakeLists.standalone.cmake) and this repo’s own build invoke; it accepts multiple inputs per run, so build systems can batch.

7.9.1. Quick start

Generate AOT C++ for one script:

daslang utils/aot/main.das -- -aot my_script.das output.cpp

Generate a standalone context (a directory with .h + .cpp):

daslang utils/aot/main.das -- -ctx my_script.das output_dir/

The AOT workflow — registering generated sources, hash mismatches, and the CMake integration — is covered by the C++ integration tutorials.
