Embedding HashLink

HashLink can be easily embedded into any application to provide very fast scripting capabilities.

It consists in separate parts:

• libhl is the HashLink runtime, that can be dynamically linked
• HL boot, with its bytecode loader code.c, module initializer module.c, jit support jit.c and (optional) debugger debugger.c

All of these are initalized and control by main.c which does the following:

• parse commandline arguments
• load the .hl bytecode
• initialize HL runtime
• allocate and initialize a module (jit the code)
• setup exception catching
• call module entry point (starts it)
• catch and print exception (if any)

You can read the C API Documentation for more details about how to integrate with you application.
