IMCC - documentation
IMCC is the Intermediate Code Compiler for Parrot.
It's integrated into the parrot
executable.
IMCC compiles a language called Parrot Intermediate Representation (PIR).
PIR is the primary target of language implementations.
PIR code files usually have the extension .pir
.
At times in the past the extension .imc
was used as well,
but .pir
is preferred.
