ludic/selfhost/main.ludic

# main.ludic — the self-hosted Ludic front-end.
#
# ludicc lexes, parses, checks and lowers a .ludic file to LLVM IR, then drives
# clang (the IR assembler + system linker, the same role rustc/swiftc give it)
# to produce a native binary. No C is compiled: the emitted IR is Ludic's, and
# clang only assembles and links it.
#
#   ludicc app.ludic -o bin/app            # native binary (windowed if a game)
#   ludicc app.ludic -o bin/app --headless # force headless
#   ludicc app.ludic --emit-llvm -o app.ll # stop at the IR
#   ludic  app.ludic                       # compile to a temp binary and run it
#
# The multi-call twist: when argv[0] is "ludic" it defaults to compile-and-run.
# With no -o and no run, IR still goes to stdout — the contract build.sh and
# reseed.sh rely on, so the bootstrap is untouched.
