Move on Sui Course
Sui Compiler:
- Sui Compiler is the compiler layer of Sui responsible for translating smart contracts written in the Move source language into Move bytecode.
- Move source language is a human-readable syntax for writing Move code, while Move bytecode is a machine-readable format for executing Move code on the Sui VM.
Compiler Checks and Optimizations:
- The Sui Compiler performs various checks and optimizations on Move source code, including:
- Type checking: Ensuring that the types of expressions and values are consistent and compatible.
- Bytecode verification: Verifying that the bytecode is well-formed and complies with Move's safety rules.
- Code optimization: Applying techniques to reduce bytecode size and enhance performance.
Sui Compiler as a Translator:
- You can conceptualize the Sui Compiler as a translator that converts between different languages (Move source and bytecode).
- This translator not only performs the conversion but also checks for errors and enhances the quality of the output.
