Hi CakeML developers,

I've put the result you could obtain by running the compiler bootstrap
on a recent commit (389d340f) online here:
https://cakeml.org/cake-389d340f.S.tar.gz, so you can try it without
having to build it if you want.

This version contains basis library modules including FileIO (actually
only read-only) and CharIO, whose contents you can glean by looking at
basis/mlfileioProgScript.sml and basis/mlcharioProgScript.sml etc.

Here's an example of how to use it. You need the basis_ffi.c file
available from basis/basis_ffi.c in the repo (preferably the one at
commit 389d340f, but I think it hasn't changed on master since then).

$ tar -xvzf cake-389d340f.S.tar.gz
$ gcc -o cake basis_ffi.c cake-389d340f.S
# Example: a CakeML program that prints the first char in the .S file
$ ./cake > result.S
val f = FileIO.openIn("cake-389d340f.S");
val SOME c = FileIO.fgetc f;
CharIO.write c;
<CTRL-D>
$ gcc -o result basis_ffi.c result.S
$ ./result
# prints '#'

Have fun!
Ramana
