BiSheng compiler explained

BiSheng Compiler
Developer:Huawei
Operating System:openEuler, HarmonyOS
Platform:ARM, RISC-V, x86, x64 and LoongArch[1]
Genre:Compiler, Compiler front end
License:Mixed: Proprietary (HarmonyOS), Apache License (openEuler)

BiSheng Compiler is an open-source compiler toolchain developed by Huawei for general-purpose processor architectures, such as Kunpeng within HiSilicon domain. It is based on LLVM,[2] and introduces and enhances multiple compilation optimization technologies and supports different programming languages, such as ArkTS, Cangjie, C, C++ and Fortran.

BiSheng Compiler has been integrated into openEuler, a Linux-based open source community edition of open-source EulerOS on February 1, 2022.[3] The compiler can be installed using the Yum repository on openEuler OS or using a software package in a non-openEuler operating system which is used in AI and IoT technologies sceanrios.[4] [5] On January 18, 2024, at HarmonyOS Ecology Developer event, Huawei revealed the HarmonyOS NEXT software stack, the system that integrates BiSheng Compiler alongside Ark Compiler into HarmonyOS application development for single API framework of the HarmonyOS operating system successor to current dual-framework system.[6] [7]
