This might become a vignette at some point
There are relatively few user-facing functions in this package but rather a lot going on behind the scenes.
The function odin_parse (and odin_parse_) convert a model from R's syntax into an intermediate representation that includes all the information to compile the model to another language. The actual parse phase is carried out with a large number of functions that have the prefix ir_parse, in files prefixed by ir_parse. Over time these will be better organised and I'll document what happens in each phase.
Even when not persisted we serialise the IR all the way to json using jsonlite; this happens in ir_serialise.R. All functions are prefixed with ir_serialise
If requested, then the intermediate representation is validated against the schema (written in jsonSchema); this happens within ir_validate.R, using the package jsonvalidate.
Before using the IR we deserialise (mostly trivial, but some lists-of-objects aquire names and character vectors are simplified), which happens in ir_deserialise.R.
There are two paths of generation - into transpiling R and compiling C. The files for doing this start at generate_r.R and generate_c.R respectively. The end point for the the R and C generation is in generate_r_class.R and generate_c_class respectively which generates an R6 class and a constructor function.
