EDG C++ Compiler is open source
The EDG C/C++ compiler front end has been released as an open-source project, providing developers with a highly compatible tool for parsing and source-to-source transformation. The repository includes documentation, build tools, and utilities to assist in C++ development and product integration.
Why it matters
The open-sourcing of a major industry-standard compiler front end significantly lowers the barrier for developers building C++ tools and compilers.
Welcome to the open source EDG C/C++ compiler project!
The EDG C/C++ front end is the primary focus of this repository. The EDG front end is known for: its excellent parsing compatibility and bug emulation, to make sure source that compiles with Clang, GCC, and MSVC compiles with EDG; extensive documentation, to assist with development and modification; and extreme configurability, to allow it to be derived for use into a large number of C/C++ oriented products.
