The compiler

A pinned compiler#

Solicamp compiles with a pinned solc release. Every install uses the same version, and it is checked, not trusted.

Lookup order:

1. $SOLIZONE_SOLC, an explicit path you set.
2. The pinned release in ~/.solicamp/solc/<version>/solc. It is downloaded once from the official GitHub release and verified against a SHA-256 that is compiled into the module.
3. If the download is impossible (you are offline): solc on your PATH, then Foundry's compiler cache.

What a compile returns#

The compiler runs with --combined-json abi,bin --optimize. For each contract, Solicamp gets:

• the ABI, which drives the Interact panel
• the bytecode, which is deployed
• the file it came from, so a multi-file project shows which contract lives where

Errors come back with the compiler's own messages.

Single source or a file#

• compile(source) compiles one piece of source text.
• compile_file(path) compiles a file in the workspace, following its imports.
